The micropayments use case was highlighted in the Brave Browser's whitepaper: https://basicattentiontoken.org/static-assets/documents/BasicAttentionTokenWhitePaper-4.pdf https://basicattentiontoken.org/static-assets/documents/Basi... I will admit that this venture has user-related problems, in that similar to ads on a website, it relies on an honest userbase that's willing to give/pay BAT to the creator of the website's content. The infrastructure for such a system is still not fully developed, but it is technically possible to do so right now by minting an article-exclusive NFT in response to a user's micropayment, and then using SIWE (sign-in with Ethereum) to link a session with said address that has paid for the article. In order to facilitate cheap transactions, it'll have to be performed on a rollup like Arbitrum or Optimism, or on a sidechain like Polygon PoS. It does still suffer from the archive.is problem where a cached version of the unlocked article can be shown to everyone else, but such an endeavor will have to be funded out of pocket and is orders of magnitude more expensive than current archive.is bypasses.
