I haven’t explored the space, but for at least 7+ years I’ve thought micropayments were going to be the next step. Maybe naively, but I figure it might change incentives around written-content consumption in the same way Spotify and Netflix changed pirating. If it’s easier for me to pay $10/m and not have to worry about paywalls/ads, then I might not feel the need to install adblockers and all sorts of other stuff everywhere.
My next immediate concern, if micropayments platforms blasted off, would be the insane dearth of of walled gardens that might spring up. In relation to streaming services, Deloitte calls frustration around this “subscription fatigue”.
