"actually pays for online services(this will never happen)" - I used to think this with several things, and that thinking was changed a few times.
Perhaps people paying for it is not "$10 per month" or ".01c per article". People could pay for their own controlled social network by sharing a slice of memory on their computer / phone / router and allowing access to their internet bandwidth for friends / family / friends of friends, and pay for something like scuttle / ipfs without setting up recurring cash loss through their bank card right?
As they learn they are paying with loss of privacy, loss of control, and other costs - how they choose to pay may change in ways beyond current thinking.
