It is coming down to the creator asking the reader to please pay before reading, and the reader telling the creator they would like to read before paying.
For this sort of thing we just have to go with the flow as it were. Asking someone to not do something is harder than not asking them. It is easier to read than pay. All you have to do is make paying and reading equally easy.
