This industry is ripe for disruption by micro-payment system. I want to be able to surf, and make a small payment on every website I visit ($0.001). If system detects I actually used something (copy&paste, longer visit, scroll down, print bookmark), payment should be increased significantly.

- mrweasel 10y agoIdeally the payment system would be in the browser. You deposit some amount the a payment provider, and newspapers sends a 402 Payment Required http code to the browser, when you land on an article.
- nothingbutslide 10y agoWe at Scriber have created a micropayment platform for publishers: https://www.scriber.io/ https://www.scriber.io/ You can test the user experience of it by browsing our demo publication: http://www.getexplorerr.com/ http://www.getexplorerr.com/ We've put a lot of effort into making the UX as seamless as possible, trying to mirror the in-app purchase experience of native apps. We're also signed up for Stripe's Apple Pay on the web which should make the process even smoother.
