Summary
Implement the Web Monetization spec. Web Monetization is a web
technology that enables website owners to receive micro payments from
users as they interact with their content. It provides a way for content
creators and website owners to be compensated for their work without
relying solely on ads or subscriptions. Notably, Web Monetization offers
two unique features—small payments and no user interaction—users are
paying/tipping for the content while they consume it. It extends the
HTML <link> element by introducing rel="monetization". When this element
is incorporated into a web page, it signifies the website's support for
web monetization. If a user has their wallet set up for a particular
website, their browser will automatically start a web monetization
session, enabling direct payments from the user to the website.

Motivation
Web monetization offers a new revenue model for content creators and
website owners, allowing them to earn from their work while users
consume their content. It also facilitates voluntary user contributions,
such as tips, directly rewarding the creators for the value their
content provides.

Web developers: a fraction of a percent of all web pages have already
been configured to use the feature in anticipation of web/browser
support, according to metrics
<https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/3120>.
There used to be a different way to set up web monetization on a web
site by using HTML:meta tag, which achieved 0.03% adoption
