I asked WE33 about the revenue model in post #92084, perhaps you can answer how the subscription economy affects Pixel's revenues:
Could you recap your understanding of the revenue model?
In my understanding, revenue comes from the content producers. Accordingly, a big jump in subscriber numbers doesn't mean direct revenue, but more subscribers may mean more content providers are coming on board, thus more fees.
3. Do you take any portion of my revenue?* "PixelMags understands you work hard to create wonderful content for readers and wants you to keep 100% of the revenue you earn!"
10. What does my PixelMags Fee include? "It includes app maintenance, app customer support, access to the Pixelmags software to publish new or special issues and all of the aforementioned extra features. We also have an experienced and well-trained staff of Publishing Representatives that are available to help you with anything you need."
Still a bit confused on the in-app purchase revenue:
