  Micropayments exist in apps, and yet that hasn't done anything to stop apps from having both micropayments while also being infested with ads. It's time to dispense with the myth that micropayments were a missed opportunity for the web. Commercialization enshittified the web, and micropayments would have just accelerated that decline.
