It's "solving the problem" in the sense that it's spending your money without getting your explicit approval. That does make sense in some cases--my electrical, oil, and water bill basically work that way--but they're also pretty predictable and I probably couldn't realistically reduce them all that much even if I wanted to.

ADDED: That said, it's not unrealistic to imagine a "hidden" micropayments scheme that deducts automatically and lets you know and/or just turns off if you hit some monthly threshold.

That's exactly how Brave works after you setup the wallet and it gives you two options:

- pay a variable amount to the website you visit, based on how many visits and time you spent on;

- pay a fixed amount to a website of your choice;

Both options can be enabled at the same time, and the minimum number of visit, or the minimum length of the same, is adjustable;

Flattr[0] should be similar with fiat currency.
