What I meant by that was all the little (online) services that now force you to sign up, and bully you into a premium subscription.

Conversion tools, image and file hosts, scraper and download tools, editing tools, etc.

Basically anything that is an actual service (compute & storage) should work like a vending machine: sats go in, service comes out. No sign-ups or identity required, because sats are money proper (not credit).

Great leading examples that already allow payment in sats are VPNs and everything around nostr.

How a free and open internet was always supposed to work

Absolutely this. 🤙

I couldn’t agree more!

I'm passionate about this vision and already strive to incorporate it into my life as much as possible. User interfaces have nearly reached a point where they are easy and accessible for everyone. While widespread Bitcoin adoption is still a work in progress, I'm curious to know how we could overcome the strong economic appeal of subscription models?
