As time passes I’m more certain in the belief that the internet will end up being a licensed system with insanely high barriers to entry which will stop your average dev from even being able to afford deploying a hobby project on it. Your idea of micro transacting web requests would play into it and probably end up with a system like Netflix where your ISP has access to a set of content creators to whom they grant ‘unlimited’ access as part of the service fee. I’d imagine that accessing any content creators which are not part of their package will either be blocked via a paywall (buy an addon to access X creators outside our network each month) or charged at an insane price per MB as is the case with mobile data. Obvious this is all super hypothetical but weirder stuff has happened in my lifetime
