I have no conception of how many ads should or shouldn't be on the web, I mostly just want to be left alone in my digital travels. I also don't think any monetisation model that hinges on users making micro donations and deciding how much is a fair donation themselves will be a sustainable model for most people except outliers. The situation is interesting because we have had simple monetisations channels for over a decade it's just that the majority of the content available on the web is low value and in the majority of consumers eyes not worth paying for. Hence if you put this content behind a paywall no one pays for it. I don't think micro-donations will solve this in any way. Not that they don't serve some use case in the bigger picture. There are certainly niches that have benefited. I just don't see it taking off beyond that. I believe the majority of people have no urge to compensate "content creators" (small businesses marketed differently) for giving away content for free. If a business wants to venture into a market in which there is evidence of there not being a demand above a price point of zero any work done to extract compensation for the effort feels counter productive. I see a lot of arguments about creators "deserving" to be compensated, because they've put in the graft and produced...something. I wish anyone luck with their chosen enterprise and don't want to see anyone's hard work dissipate in vein but people don't deserve to be compensated for pursuing a business idea. I think that's seen as common sense outside of the digital realm.
