And it only works like that because of the current financial system. Flattr exists because of the lack of a solution in the current financial system: Cryptocurrency (eg ETH with Web3) would allow sites to build a Flattr-like system without the middleman, and cut down on the overhead of actually building a company around it.
- arcticbull 7y agoPeople don't want that. You're describing a solution in search of a problem. We have the technology to execute on this right now but nobody does, because people don't want it. If they wanted it, we'd have it, and we'd be iterating in the problem domain not the solution domain. There's no pent up demand for a world in which you're constantly forced to make tons of individual purchasing decisions. More importantly though, people have learned not to value content. This is a huge problem for the media industry. Nobody wants to pay anything at all for what they create, they want to pay with their time and attention - through ads.
