The ad model is broken. I see the future of web monetisation as tiny fractions of a bit coin (or another crypto currency) being automatically deducted from a your wallet, charged per second/minute.

Wouldn't that let you perform even crazier levels of tracking, and expose my (barely anonymous) browsing to the entire world? Wallets might be just a bunch of characters, but I bet you can figure out who I am from my url trail alone, given I spend a ton of time on messenger.com/t/mywife and mywebsite.com

Also, doesn't that mean that only people with money can go on the internet? This seems like a much, much worse system than we have today (with adblockers)
