Fragmented because nobody seems to have found a winning UX yet. Once there is a strong and growing set of users that are happily paying for content on a small set of websites, I believe we will see more consolidation.

That's just the culture, we can change it. I had the privilege to explain to someone the donation model. wwwwhy would I pay for a free font??? Do people really do this????

edit: When people know a waitress is not- or barely getting paid they are far less likely to not give a tip. We are not alien to the concept.

Won't - or can not afford... Too many low-paying jobs and unemployed people.
