Eberhard WolffIn the nineties, micropayments for each visit to some websites were discussed. Now websites sell subscriptions which I never buy. But I would pay some money to read an article. Seems like money is left on the table. So what happened to micropayments?
Philippe Gerber@ewolff I loved flattr a decade ago. I set a monthly spending limit and then the money got split amongst all the things I flattr'd that month. Sadly it never took off.
Mene Michael Arndt@ewolff @phphil in my memory they got bought by ad block plus and became odd afterwards. For a while things just didn’t work, my balance was gone, and then they removed the flattr button and replaced it with some algorithm.
So maybe too niche, maybe a takeover gone wrong, maybe ABP didn’t want a good alternative to ads.
