Hoffman writes, “Within a few months, payments to Marketplace authors will leapfrog our traditional author payments. By year end, we expect Marketplace authors will be earning more than $7M in ARR. And it looks like we will have our first ‘million dollar service’ within the year.
“That’s $7 million that will go to support high-quality equity research. Many SA authors invest intense amounts of time and energy in what they do, and it’s very rewarding to see them succeed like this.

“There are a number of factors, but there’s one that stands out above the rest: It’s all about the authors and the communities they’ve built.
“Content does not ‘want to be free’ as the popular saying goes. People gladly pay for high-value content, especially when it helps them make money. But ‘high-value content’ is tricky to quantify.
