Potential to integrate the amount of micropayment as a star rating - think a combined "donate & rate" action after reading / watching. Let people contribute from 0.01 to 5.00 units of currency, in easy increments, that also indicate how much they liked it. Automatically bill and aggregate monthly.

I guess the charm of their solution is that they don't have to put these complex semantics into place. It sounds like a good idea, but rating and paying are two very different things - in my example, I would merely want to reward more effort (1h podcast) with more money. That doesn't mean I didn't like the short blogpost.
