I read through a ton of comments and didn't see anyone really mention twitch. On twitch you can buy with credit card bits. A bit is about 1 penny. But you usually buy $5 bits incrementally. You can watch ad for 10 bits sometimes too. You can then give anywhere from 1 bit to whatever to the streamer. Some streamers will set minimums of 5 or 25 bits. At end of month the bits are converted back to real money minus twitch fee. And they send check to streamer. The problem really isn't in the tech. Its solved and easy. Its getting some intermediary to be used by many. New York times can't be it for itself. It needs to be something that a user buys bits or whatever and then can use a large variety of websites.
