Here is an even crazier idea: (micro)pay to cite instead of (micro)pay to read. Just going to put that out there.

That's actually a pretty cool idea. Once there's infrastructure in place, it's easy to enforce, too. Turn in a paper and upon acceptance you are billed for the citations. Money = reputation also kind of works and is a nice incentive to write good papers that get cited often.

[downside is obviously that it kind of also creates an incentive to cite less]
