bumiDid a Bitcoin Lightning Experiment:
A Lightning enabled feed reader that allows paying the author of an article directly from the reader.
It adds lighting support to @feedbin and loads LNURL details from the RSS feed item.

Steven Roose@bumi That's awesome! This is really what I want to be the future or publishing and content-consuming. Pay-for-like. Pay when you like something.
Ideally just a one-click thing where you tip a default amount of like 50 cents.

yess I really would love to see something like this arise in the coming years.
Platforms already track tons of usage metrics (time spent viewing content, likes, shares, etc), it would be simple enough in concept to monetize these sorts of actions. Content consumers pay a small monthly fee, content creators get paid, and the platform could take a cut to cover their costs.

maybe the difficult thing is the regulation around the platform paying out to content creators - they would probably run into bs KYC issues running a business like that in most jurisdictions. Finding a way to make the payment handling non-custodial would be ideal, I think.
