If $0.50 is a micropayment then the term "micropayment" has been made meaningless and we need a new word for payments smaller than traditionally-sized payments.

Adding more syllables and words is stupid. How about just use the term "micropayment" as it was used by everybody when I wrote those articles, namely to mean on the order of magnitude of 1/1000th of a dollar, i.e. a payment significantly smaller than a traditional sized payment?

It's still human preference just implemented by machine agents.
