What if I save the page locally on my machine? Or archive it?

What if my phone rings and I forget to close the page? Or leave it open to read it later?

Plus as one of the parent comments said, I am not paying before I get an idea what I'm paying for.

    The logic was, you aren't paying to a website. You're paying to a broker that distributes how much you've paid to all websites you've visited that have opted in, prorated based on how much time you spent on them.

      That does make sense. Although that broker is going to push for a subscription.

      If it's text, I wouldn't mind, I'm a very fast reader. But that's incentive to lengthen the "content" or maybe go all video, insert animated page transitions and stuff like that.

      Slow readers and people on slow internet will be penalized.
