if I am willing to pay a penny a page, i and the people like me won't have to put up with clickwrap nonsense
free access doesn't have to be shut off (ok, it will be, but it doesn't have to be, and doesn't that tell you something?)
reddit could charge stiffer fees, but refund quality content to encourage better content. i've fantacized about ideas like "you pay upfront a deposit; you get banned, you lose your deposit; withdraw, have your deposit back", the goal being simplify the moderation task while encouraging quality.
because where the internet is headed is just more and more trash.
here's another idea, pay a penny per search at google/search engine of choice. if you don't like the results, you can take the penny back. google's ai can figure out how to please you. if the pennies don't keep coming in, they serve you ad-infested results; serve up ad-infested results, you can send your penny to a different search engine.
