I don't see why it would matter what form you're paying the creator in. I suppose in the absence of an apple pay direct link, you'd have to just use apple pay to pay for BAT. I think there's some sort of "re-fill $X/month" feature, but I can't seem to find it. https://brave.com/funding-your-brave-wallet/ https://brave.com/funding-your-brave-wallet/

...Why not skip the middleman and just fund websites with, you know, USD? Obviously in the case of Wikipedia, we can donate (and please do so!) but I'd gladly throw $0.20 at a website to not get ads for a day or something.

  Is there a different way to automatically pay based on how long I actually spend on a site?

    That's the default behavior, known as Auto Contribute in Brave. If 10% of your time is spent on Wikipedia, they'll get 10% of your monthly budget. You can contribute in this manner, or/also via tips (which are one-off contributions). You can also set a fixed percentage for the property, and set it as a recurring contribution each month.

      Yeah, that's one reason I use brave. The parent was suggesting that they wanted to do something like this without Brave, but I don't know of a real competitor.

  Donating to individual websites is only possible in a few cases as it's a lot of hassle for the website operator to operate if it's a small site. Direct donations of a few cents would also won't be very effective because of the payment network fees involved. I don't particularly like Brave but something that works on a higher level and is supported by sites seems to be an interesting experiment at least. If I click around on HN and 5 different newspapers ask me to sign up for their 15$/month subscription that can't be the future.

I want content and I want to pay for it and I don’t want to think about it. When this system is build into iOS and abstracted into a dollar amount that I use my face to pay, I will consider it.
