Literally the only thing I want from the internet is some way to put €100 into my browser wallet and when I navigate to a paywall site they can prompt me and say “give us €.50 and we’ll show you the article without ads or a login” and I hit yes and then I read the goddamn article.

I don’t know if this is a W3C thing or a browser thing. I have no idea how to make such a thing happen. But there must be a way to pay people for stuff they put on the internet that doesn’t involve me signing up for 60 different services.

flattr did this in a very sexy way, but still people were too lazy to adopt.

Obviously, the "literally one thing you want from the internet" is not the one thing all the others want 🤣
