Thus, Scribd can do three things:
1.) Get rid of the largest group of power users, by removing the content they consume.
2.) Raise the subscription fees. This is a risky move, because it impacts all subscribers and may end up costing a number of desirable customers, who look for cheaper alternatives.
3.) Change the payout scheme to authors.

I suspect that they are now going to see their subscription base begin to dry up. They should have known why the romance section at the book store is the largest before they set up the service.
Has anyone heard whether their new algorithm (of paying authors by how much is read) produces better rates for novels. Or is Kindle Unlimited still for novelettes of only 10,000 words?
