In terms of journalist, it does not make economic sense for the creators. Microtransactions will turn journalism into gig work with all the downsides that comes with that. It will also reduce the number of companies that control information since companies will fight to dominate the microtransaction space with only a few companies being able to compete. It's also not advantageous for readers. Readers will pay only for things they find interesting ignoring information that's important but not desirable to read. We'll have an even less informed citizenship.
