You didn't answer the question. How about this: you have a business that sells stuff online and but then a buyer suddenly refuses to give you money in return and says "I don't like money as it has corrupting power. I prefer a

What is this alternative? Something that a publisher can use to fund itself that's neither paywall nor advertisement. I'm genuinely curious.
