> But I seriously doubt you will get people to voluntarily pay money

I've always been curious about this. I'd definitely pay $25/mo if it was distributed amongst the websites I visit. Bonus points if it would distribute it more heavily to the smaller sites than the bigger ones.

By the time you're done manifesting that concretely, you've nearly got Patreon. Yes, it's not quite identical, but, for instance, once you accept that the site still has to opt-in it ceases to be magic.

Or Flattr.

Or window.payment which Chrome and Safari are already implementing (using Apple Pay and Google Wallet respectively).

If this was required to view sites, I'd definitely pay it. But I also wouldn't go out of my way to do it.

I'm sure the right business could pull it off, but I don't think it's going to be voluntary donations.
