Can you imagine a world where people stuck post-it notes on everyone they passed? Soo we would all be thickets of moving mounds of post it notes - great hate - slowed progress.
Similarly the cookie baggage we accumulate - great hate - slowed progress.
Sure the free content has to be paid for.
What if the ISP's charged $5/month. Then divided that into micro-pence = 5 million of them. They know the URL you clicked - 1 micro pence per click. At end of month pay those micro-pence to the URL. Baggage is zero as you carry nothing, they count and collate a list = no baggage carried.
You could also allow session cookies to reduce the login burden. It is possible that such a system would reduce traffic to self finance?

- dazc 5y agoNothing wrong with the idea but getting agreement of all publishers would be the biggest hurdle. We have already seen how a small subscription model has worked out with other forms of media. Which is that you end paying as much, or more, for the same content than you did previously.
- aurizon 5y agoMy POV was the standard fee, divided and spread among the rest. Paywalls would have their own fee and bypass this. In effect a fraction of a pence, summed over your total views of each site, with the $5 split amongst them.
