I wrote a short article about an old idea that still feels unresolved: why the web never really got a simple, native way to send small payments.

We have likes, subscriptions, ads, paywalls and donations, but not a normal “pay a few cents” button built into everyday browsing.

The article connects that old web problem with crypto payments and micropayments, without treating crypto as a magic solution. More of a beginner-friendly explanation and discussion starter than an investment post.

Curious what people here think: did micropayments fail because of technology, user behavior, platform control, or just bad timing?

Why did the web never get a normal pay button?
