If I pay a lightning ⚡️ micropayment paywall on a piece of content, I’m paying for:

- convenience (don’t have to spend time looking for pirated copy)

- honesty (I have a conscience)

- security (non-original sources more likely to want to hack me)

- privacy (non-original sources are usually want my data)

- support (I want this person to make more of this)

- hosting costs (hosting and serving content to me is never free, will get paid somehow by someone)

- bitcoin self-interest (using Lightning supports bitcoin adoption)

And even more. There will be lightning paywalls on everything, and there should be. They are good.
