Totally agree here, I'd pay a quarter to read most of the articles I click away from right now because they are paywalled. The pain of unsubscribing from some of these places is obscene, and a major reason I avoid subscribing to many of them. That and it's hard to pay $10 for a site I might read an article on a month, or I might read 10.
Isn't the Brave browser trying to build in micropayments? I keep hoping that will get some traction.
I love reporters and investigative journalism. It's worth funding and I hate seeing it die off. But I also don't have many good ways to pay for it. Though a couple days ago I did read a good investigative piece, without paywall, so I sent the place $10 via one-time payment.
