I imagine that, in the same way content is spread across multiple pages to increase ad-views, the same thing would happen with micropayments.
Best movies of 2020 would be "pay 0.10 for #100-90 and then .10 for each #90-#80 etc". Stratechery would be "pay 0.10 for the above the fold part and then 0.10 for the rest".
Authors used to get paid in micropayments (by the word or books were serialized) so we don't have to guess about the effects. Victorian authors (whose works were all published serialized) stretched things out to the point where modern readers often find them unbearably long.
- mrkramer 6y agoI had the similar idea, for example you are interested in only certain chapter of a 500 pages book and you pay micropayment to access only that pages of the chapter and the book.
