微信公众号 rolled out 付费订阅 in 2022 — a Substack-style feature letting writers paywall posts. Earlier paid-content platforms include 得到 (DeDao, audio courses), 知乎盐选 (Zhihu Salt Select), and 樊登读书 (Fandeng Reading).
usage
付费订阅 is the noun phrase; the verbs are 付费 (pay a fee) + 订阅 (subscribe) used together: 我订阅了这个专栏 (I subscribed to this column), 这个内容需要付费 (this content requires payment).
