The problem is people wouldn't know what content to pay for because paid content in large part is also scam and bait and switch these days. You literally can't evaluate content before you consume it in it's entirety or the at least the amount you wish. Given that copyright should be abolished, adverts should be banned and content industry should move to entirely post-paid voluntary financing. Something like gaming piracy where you play the whole game for free and if you really liked it you "buy" "a copy" to support developers and their investors.
