Are there any other stories about micropayments? I keep hearing how micropayments are going to change the internet, but here we are years later and no such service seems to be getting notability.
- mistermann 10y agoPatreon seems to be serving at least a subset of that need.
- admax88q 10y agoPlenty of stories around it, but none of them seem to be gaining widespread adoption. The Brave browser is trying to integrate micropayments into the browser. It blocks ads by default and pays websites directly out of a monthly amount that the user configures. https://brave.com/publishers.html https://brave.com/publishers.html Flattr tries to do a very similar thing even earlier, except you have to click the "Flattr" button on websites that you visit that you want to fund. But still works with the same model where you set yourself a monthly budget and the system pays content producers directly for you. https://flattr.com/ https://flattr.com/
