How far do you think we could get with merely a friction-free method to pay a small fee to read individual articles across a broad range of publications?

I'd be concerned that if pay-per-view articles became the norm, clickbaiting would only intensify. I suppose the countervailing force would be source reputation.

Well, I can tell only for my self, but pay-per-view for a broad selection of sources will be a godsend for me, and I'll be willing to spend much more than I'm spending currently on my subscriptions; if there would be an easy way to revoke payment in case article is a clickbait , then this will ensure friction-free payment is the viable option
