The one way to solve this is for the ad network itself to build it and treat the user's credit card as the top bidder in the auction. This is how (the old version of) Google Contributor worked. Of course, it only really fit into Goog's overall organizational strategy as a PR move

A lot of decision fatigue for the user. Would discourage consumption. And create a perpetual user authentication hell.

because it would require a massive amount of investment to implement, would be devilishly difficult to get right, would remove the most attractive ad targets, and most people wouldn't pay. It's hard to think of an investment that makes less sense at scale tbh

Google Contributor was exactly this; it even had a setting that replaced display ads with cute cat photos. Never got significant traction, ultimately I don't think enough people cared.

Google launched something called Google Contributor years ago, but nobody has heard of it. https://contributor.google.com/ maybe they wanted to launch it as vaporware so nobody else could fund launching a viable competitor, but if that wasn't the motive then hard to see anyone doing it
