    In addition to what Jeff said, from the reader's point of view, Readup's mission is to make a home for deep reading on the internet first. It's not only ad-blocking and monetizing for creators. We already have article discovery/ranking based on our read tracking algorithm, and future developments will improve the reading experience even more. For example, by being able to construct your own feeds with your favorite RSS & newsletter sources, topped up with our metadata, or expanding on the ability to organize & curate your reading socially. A comparison with "the next Pocket" might be appropriate from that perspective, or to a "Spotify for reading" (a nice read on this trend: https://readup.com/read/protocol/spotify-for-readers-how-tech-is-inventing-better-ways-to-read-the-internet). Our universal monetization model indeed draws comparisons to Coil, Brave Rewards, Flattr, Twitter Blue... We have in common that we try to make the web more ethical & sustainable. For a writer or publisher, we're one more monetization source for which they don't have to do extra work. And we come with a community of readers that you can interact deeply with (example: https://readup.com/comments/organizer-sandbox/ginny-our-little-girl-from-beginning-to-end). Coil had [an article discovery Reddit-clone](https://coil.com/blogs), but they have moved that to [Write.as](https://write.as/) now. I invite you to look at Readup's ranking and compare what you see!
