sarajw, 
I like the web monetisation proposal being brought forward by @ppk:
- Beloved sites get sold and dropped or "eaten by AI", and the reason is money.
- For those willing, a trickling micro payment stream could send a few cents every few seconds from a reader's wallet to that of a website owner.
- The readers would control their max rate and max outlay per month, for example.
- The readers could block certain sites/domains from receiving money.
- There are still lots of open questions!
