Value for value has a higher ceiling than a fixed price

Quote

The V for V will result in much more, the high end Ceiling is much higher. Because you're not let you're on artificially limiting. I could not pay Peter Atea more money he just said $19.

Summary

Paywall versus V4V will be an A/B test, Dave says. For big shows he expects similar numbers of payers but very different creator income, because a fixed price artificially caps what fans can give. He subscribes to Peter Attia's podcast, which is V4V-adjacent, and says he couldn't pay more than the $19 asked even if he wanted to.

    I don't know that there's going to be a whole lot of difference between the number of people willing to pay, but there will be in my I predict there will be a lot of difference in how much money the Creator makes.
