Jared White (ResistanceNet ✊)

Here's a riddle for you:

We can spend trillions of dollars to develop AGI which is just around the corner any day now…

…but we can't figure out how to put a wallet in people's web browsers so when they read a blog post, it kicks 10¢ over to the author?

If 100 people read a blog post of mine, I'd get $10. Which is $10 more than I currently get when 100 people read my blog post.

I'm being serious! Whatever happened to web microtransactions??! I've been waiting for two decades! 😭

@jaredwhite the main thing that's stopping us is getting everyone to trust a site that runs them. In fact, trust is the main thing stopping everything

@rgarner Sure, but I mean, that ship has sailed by now. Folks are installing all kinds of crazy shit on their computers and telling them to do whatever! 🤣

@jaredwhite it's bizarre, though. We'll "trust" people with packets of text containing our innermost thoughts, but the moment they have your credit card for $0.10...

@jaredwhite I have to imagine it's the fear of metered internet and runaway subs
