While I have hopes that Mozilla can be a more trustworthy organization to scale a new web payment platform, I can’t help but feel like this could go the way of the many micro-payment platforms that have outright failed (flattr), difficulties in adoption (Brave/BAT), or controversial treatment of content creators (Patreon).
This seems like a worthwhile endeavor that someone has to get right, isn’t it? I don’t know if these platforms suffer from their own unique issues, or if this is emblematic of user appathy for paying for “free” content. Either way, if this partnership doesn’t prove successful, we might be stuck with the existing ad-supported models that are only further entrenching themselves into the Internet as we know it.
Seems like Tildes checks every box for a grant already. ;)
