I think it's a question as to whether someone who has a degree of expertise has any reason to be motivated by money when the payments are so small. In a weird way I think software engineers would be doing the internet a service by accepting small amounts instead of doing stackoverflow exclusively.This way the trend can nudge back toward people getting paid for information - even if it's just little amounts. On the flip side I wouldn't mind paying small amounts for my questions that would otherwise be answered on stack overflow. But it would be very small. $1 here, $10 there.
