Yes, the problem is that it's "not micro enough". The value of this service is low enough that it's not worth it for me to self-host, and the financial overhead of cloud providers is enough that it would cost far more for me to spin up a dedicated instance than pay someone for the fractional cost of usage of their instance.

More generally, I want the ability to make microtransactions (substitute "extremely low-friction donations" if you will) for everything that could be "free" but also costs money (bandwidth, compute, storage), because no matter how much free time I have, there will always be services that I could benefit from, but are low-enough-value that it's not worth it for me to self-host or get a cloud host myself.
