If a primary player, like Google, created a micropayments mechanism for content - that worked like Google Voice - where users can make a $10 payment and automatically topup - it would solve a lot of the issues
This would allow Forbes etc. to use Google Micropayments for payment and visitors would pay 0.5¢ or something for every page viewed
A popup would show the first time you visit the domain to ask if you're okay with paying for content in future
I wouldn't have to pay specific subscriptions then, I could choose not to view sites I don't think are worth the value, sites I only ever visit infrequently could get something back for my visit
