Napkin architecture for blockchain-backed journalism model / probably other people have thought about this in more detail
Demand for content :
individualised, can be curated by an AI agent, like a user-interactive RSS Feed Manager that crawls and discusses content with user. Computation for this can be pushed to distributed computing infrastructure, using a cryptocurrency to allocate compute resources. Essentially users that pay more can get better crawlers/other-curative-agent-services. Of course, ad-buyers can pay to contaminate non-commercial results with commercial results. So at least two demand sources here.
Supply of content :
various, including journalists. How to link content producers to payments? Has to be a way to declare a content source as canonical, which allows that source to lay claim to "cash-flow" stored on-chain. Can have a mechanism to assign credit to upstream content sources as a way to redistribute value upstream. Needs to be designed with flood/spam/other-similar attack protection. Staking of currency allows large parties to buy legitimacy - not sufficient - probably some sort of peer validation algorithm required for governance.

I wouldn't conflate DemandForContent with SupplyOfCash. :wink: Ad revenue is going to be the main SupplyOfCash in almost any scenario, but DemandForContent can be structurally rewired to democratise DistributionOfCash.
