Yes! I’m a PM on the team that is building this. We want this to work equally well for human payments or agent payments. Low friction micropayments are the problem to solve, but once solved, it can work for either segment.

Feel free to email me at (my username)@(my company) with ideas or suggestions here!

Never going to happen, and what you're building is worse than any net neutrality fears we had in the past. Except instead of Comcast we now need to fight against Cloudflare

Why is it worse? This seems like a good alternative to large monthly fees, where you can pay per use.

5c to read an article? Sure. $20/month subscription? No way.
