I desperately wish someone would crack the "micropayments for the web" nut. Most of the content I visit I would pay pennies, some even nickles or dimes, maybe even quarters... As long as I don't have to mess around with it, the friction would have to be fairly low. I include bogus sites swindling those micropayments to be friction.
I had high hopes for Brave Browser and BAT, but seems like Brave the company has problems, and the biggest issue is that I don't think anyone but Brave seems to be set up to take the payments.
- Jochim 3y agoI'd expect compensation from most of the content I visit, which usually ends up being SEO trash. I'm not sure how you'd solve this without manually approving each page.
- throwaway4722 3y agoI think the end result would be bad for consumers. At some point someone will introduce some form of "bundle" or "subscription" where you get a discount if you pay a certain amount. This would just be a repeat of the nightmare situation we have today in streaming, where content is guarded by multiple providers and in some cases just disappear because of licensing.
