      Why did one-click micropayments never become a thing? I wish I could just click a button in my browser to pay, eg, $0.25 to read an article

          Now that advertising is almost stone dead publishing may get with the program. I'd voluntarily spend $$ a week on good content.

          Turns out for micropayments infra the way to do it is to build it on top of the revolutionary new financial system. Who would have guessed?

          Not likely. Julia your sentiment is pretty rare,most people don't want to pay and especially don't want to constantly decide if worth paying

          Clickbait/misleading headlines would become infinitely more widespread if people were paying to read articles on an individual basis.
