Pay the Web Forward
summary
Proposal to shift web funding from ads to voluntary microstreams using Web Monetization: a browser extension sets a suggested rate 60, the visitor’s wallet opens a payment pointer and emits a monetization stream that pays sites by time spent (pennies every few seconds), which rewards longer attention and reduces clickbait. System currently requires on‑boarding per jurisdiction so wallets work in EU and US but cross‑border streams are limited; payouts accumulate monthly and many small contributions can scale to large sums.
