      also of course this problem is *even worse* with academic papers where it's 'pay $60 for three days access to a single paper' and you just steal your buddy's jstor login anyway

      I subscribe to pretty much all the major papers and magazines save the NYT, but I still quite often want to read something in a local newspaper or smaller magazine

      The pathologies at how this problem was addressed in the music business are worth looking at. The fundamental problem (as Clay Shirky pointed out I think in 2000 or so) is cognitive—people don't want to keep track of all this stuff, they just want payment to go to the right place

      I think calling it "cognitive" is unfairly dismissive, and that dismissiveness is more fundamental to the problem than it is a "cognitive" problem. Managing millions of micropayments is fundamentally complicated. It could be made superficially simple, but that takes lots of work.

      I disagree. We already have a de facto micropayment system deployed! Because of surveillance and ad-driven data bloat, in the US it costs a few pennies' worth of data plan to view any news article on a cell phone. But the money is captured by the ISP, not given to the publisher.

      That's not simple either, as some guy pointed out. https://idlewords.com/images/adtech.jpg … Imagining that you can steer an iceberg lik that so easily... that's the cognitive problem.

      Saying "this putative technology problem is really a human attention problem" is the schtick of everyone in this thread. Don't mess with us!

          Probably not really what you're after but I've recently 'tipped' a couple of musicians who, bored during lockdown, have uploaded a live track somewhere the price of a coffee using http://ko-fi.com  It's simple, cheap and accessible. Worth a look?https://more.ko-fi.com/ko-fi-for-writers …
