If some [news] platform invented a way of accepting microtransactions to view each article (instead of subscribing to the entire website, perhaps only to ever view a single article...), I would happily pay.

Bitcoin would be too expensive/slow to process on-the-fly article pageviews, so perhaps some other altcoin could be utilized (browser plugin?) to allow each IP to view for a set duration [1 hour?].

Seems like a way to monetize a service like archive.is &c, and form partnerships with news organizations [instead of ongoing cat-and-mouse hostilities].

Until then, I'll happily add Arc Search to my repertoire. $$$ I'm not signing up for your entire newspaper, folks.

Brave did that already. Blocked the tracking ads and built an altcoin-backed tipping service whose coins they regularly buy off the market with real money.

How would using crypto be beneficial? Just have a normal company website readers and publishers can sign up for.

Bitcoin Lightning is entirely suited to this use case
