We still run into the problem of how to pay for content on the web. Do we really want everything to either be volunteer or sponsored by someone?

it's a public good that will likely be underfunded if we stick with volunteers and sponsored

except maybe if status is a sufficient payment?

mayyybe good if altruistic ideas are more likely to propagate under those incentives?
