Confusion cooked a new way to pay the publisher for their content

In Compon’s, a new plan for sharing revenues for publishers who will pay them every time its aids use an article to answer the question, The Wall Street Journal reports. Perplexity initiates a plan (and partially pay for him) with new Comet plus Subscription that provides subscribers to access “Premium content of a group of trusted publishers and journalists.”

Komet Plus costs $ 5 a month and based on a confusion description, above all, is designed to work the actions that his agent comet (included in Comet browser) Download web pages, which are not considered in existing issuers. “When you are looking confusing to synthesize the recent coverage of the industry trend, it is indexed traffic,” the company writes. “When the comet assistant scans your calendar and proposes articles relevant to your daily meetings, it is agent traffic.”

The company is Existing publisher’s programthat counts publications like Time and Happiness As participants, actions AD Revenue based on traffic, the search for confusion is stolen by providing the summary of the article. The money shared through a comet plus will probably count on what is lost when ai agent visits the webpage on your name, zooming out past ads that you usually see or hear.

Publishers will receive 80 percent of Comet Plus income, in accordance with confusion, and the remaining 20 percent awarded “calculation”. The Wall Street Journal It says confusion in the beginning of paying publishers who participate from “$ 42.5 million in revenue” to expand, assuming it will apply for comet plus, and the comet web browser becomes available more people. That the start of the sum is likely to consider existing PRO and Max Subscribers, who will receive a comet plus as part of their subscriptions and are paid in the income sharing scheme by default.

Sounds generously on the face, and maybe with a large enough amount of subscribers will be, but 80 percent of $ 5 is $ 4. It is $ 4, which is likely to unlock unlimited access to the entire library in the content library. Most newspapers charge anywhere with $ 20 to $ 30 per month to access all their articles. Why would they send for less?

It is not clear that this plan replaces the existing program of pulp of confusion or will exist next to him. It is also difficult to say if you do not pay the comet plus to change the quality of the answers you get in a comet or confusion. Engadget contacted confusion for more information and will update this article if we hear back.

Confusion likely would not explore new income sharing plans if it was not already caught in plagging articles In the first place. The company wants its agent search engine to be successful and ideally requires a certain amount of participation of people who create articles, images and videos review. It remains to be seen whether the comet is plus the type of arrangement that will publish publishers play the ball.
