    This somewhat reminds me on the discussions around the Web Monetization API [1] a few years ago.

    I still wish for a service that gives me access to _all_ paywalled sites or a way to sending all websites I visit a little money in exchange for them not serving ads.

    From https://webmonetization.org/ :

    > Web Monetization provides an open, native, efficient, and automatic way to compensate creators, pay for content, and support crucial web infrastructure.

    > Why Now?: Until recently, there hasn't been an open, neutral and cost-efficient protocol for transferring money. Interledger provides a simple, interoperable, and currency-agnostic method for the transfer of small amounts of money.

    > Web Monetization is being proposed as a W3C standard at the Web Platform Incubator Community Group.

    W3C Interledger Protocol works with any type of ledger.

    W3C Web Monetization: https://webmonetization.org/ :

    > The Web Monetization API allows websites to automatically and passively receive payments from Web Monetization-enabled visitors.

    From https://interledger.org/faq/ :

    > Web Monetization is being proposed as a W3C standard. Using the Interledger Protocol, the Web Monetization proposed standard aims to make it easier for web creators to generate income from their work without relying on advertising, site-by-site subscriptions or tracking models.

    Interledger was contributed to W3C and has undergone significant major revision. FWIU, W3C Interledger Protocol is a W3C spec but by producing IETF-style numbered RFCs, their process differs slightyl from the W3C WG Working Group model (with a page, a mailing list; and one or more git Repositories with Issues: github,com/orgname, github,com/orgname/readme, github,com/orgname/orgname.github.io ).

  • Towards Web Monetization
    3 projects | dev.to | 16 Jan 2023
    It's been a couple years since Dev.to hosted the Grant for the Web hackathon, a month-long sprint to develop innovative projects with Web Monetization. Web Monetization is a proposed JavaScript API that allows browsers to create payment streams directly to websites, allowing for micropayments and unlocking exclusive content on a pay-per-use basis. It's still being incubated at the Web Incubator Community Group, but it's an active project and an exciting technology.
  • How to support authors’ donations to Wiki? Donate to them elsewhere.

    To support the open content creators there could be a sister site where authors can post or list the link to their openly-licensed content listed with donations or web monetization to give to Wiki. I put an offer on the Reward board in line with Safe Harbor#2_important_topics) paid-article policies. The upcoming grants of the 2030 Movement Strategy go toward sustainability, accessibility, and bridging content gaps. There are risks in introducing monetization. I see it as worthwhile to experiment with as there might be extensive potential benefits. What are your thoughts?
