@Edent I think it's a really interesting idea, but my initial feeling is that charges will make it unworkable.

Also I'm pretty sure many similar ideas have failed before, has there been a recent development that makes this more likely to succeed now?

@Edent the internet would be a very different place if we could replace ads with micropayments

@Edent reminds me of the original goal of https://www.axate.com/ which provided APIs for micro transactions for news sites.

@Edent I would like this as a feature, but I wouldnt like to see it as prominently as that. Maybe by clicking on someone's profile.

@Edent I would be very strongly against that. Incentivising people to make particularly notable posts will encourage all sorts of bad actors to post inflammatory and untrue rubbish.

@Edent I think we a standard for this across the whole Fediverse. I need it for Manyfold, and Bandcamp, Castopod and many more would want it too.
