Vernus is a media platform where you can publish your content and sell it by the piece instead of a monthly subscription.<p>Have you ever wanted to read an article only to discover two paragraphs later that you need a recurring subscription to move forward?<p>We don't go to the bakery and leave a donation and then eventually take a loaf when we need it. We also don't have a membership to our corner bakery. We buy the bread, because it is valuable to us and we value the work of the baker.<p>That's Vernus, for digital content.<p>I read a lot and I make an effort to read from varied sources. However, maintaining subscriptions to a dozen places isn't only a financial burden, I often feel like I don't want to be a supporter of a certain platform, for political or other reasons, but when they do great work I'd be willing to pay.<p>Intellectual work is highly valuable and still somehow the market has evolved into a state where people either depend on donations, which I find quite derogatory need to compete with big players to convince users to pay yet another $10-$20 a month.<p>Vernus aims to be just as much a platform for the paywalled content of big media as it is an anti-Substack, where individual voices can build a readership and earn a living.
