If your browser was able to send micropayments seamslessly and at near-zero cost, would you pay one cent for every web page you visit? Abuse limiting controls aside (ie, this would most likely be opt-in but once you green-light a website, it would be able to charge you on an ongoing basis up to a certain threshold), would you consider paying for web content on a regular, automatic basis, as an alternative to advertising and subscription-based paywalls?
The number I always had in mind (to charge) was 1/10th that.<p>Back in the olden days (decades ago now) I did use viewdata systems that charged like that, and it did not feel evil.<p>And for those on a limited mobile plan, the data costs of all but the lightest pages will be similar to or higher than a 0.1c/0.1p charge.
No.<p>This would only increase the need to get visitors to land on the webpage, and would value content volume over quality.<p>If it were to strictly replace already pay-walled content, then maybe. I could see myself doing this for the WSJ or NYT, but not for google.
