Great thread debunking the hysterical propaganda smearing anti-establishment Yellow Vests as the work of "Russian bots." These mass movements are driven by the very real & very large human costs of carbon taxes, mass immigration, & many other elite leftist & neocon policies.https://twitter.com/Recursion_Agent/status/1071734446959849472 …

The mental accounting cost for me, as a consumer, is very low. I'd definitely pay a fraction of a cent to read an interesting article. I'm not sure this will work, just saying it should be tried. Big media companies are losing most of the traffic behind paywalls anyways
It's been tried many dozens of times, several times a year on average for the last three decades. Failed miserably every single time. But it's a recurring daydream, so I expect many more lemmings to fly off the micropayments cliff in the future.

As far as I know none of big guys have tried this. Perhaps a few small ones, that provided very low value information already, have failed, it doesn't surprise me at all. However, I know at least 1% of readers do purchase subscriptions for high value publications.

Almost every major media company tried it, often several times.

an uncensorable distributed social network would be a game-changer though

I'd love to see that! Perhaps it could be our next project when we run out of improvements to make in our app. A huge challenge indeed
