micro-payments make so much possible.

Not in the ways you are expecting:

Making users pay a micropayment to access a web page is never going work. The reason is because the cognitive load of each action is far too high:

Yet another stupid shit coin.

So the users have the ideological motivation, but when it comes down to it, they prioritize what is convenient, efficient, and serves real needs they have, such as contacting mom and cousins on Facebook. That is the hurdle the the irrelevant income offer doesn't solve.

This is where we differ. You think people will perceive the income as irrelevant where as I do not. Even if they earn enough money to purchase a few meals out a year,

Seriously I've learned the hard way several times in my life with failed projects that humans prioritize their important desires and needs. That income is absolutely irrelevant and worse yet is an insult to many people (which is why ChangeTip must die).

Well, I think calling it an insult is a little severe. Most people would welcome any money they could earn off their online participation.

Read the linked "why ChangeTip must die".

The only coin I've seen people use for micropayments/tipping is Doge. And that is not really because they believe in micropayments, but because the doge culture enjoy surprising people with a few coins. But how many people are shibes and how many are into that culture? Not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
