Let's discuss why this is a very bad idea.
I personally think the barrier to entry is still high for the payee/payer. But it seems like a solvable problem. Probably some browser extension that can help trigger the transaction when you navigate to a compliant site.
When you start paying with micro transactions for content like a blog post or a medium article, you quickly trip over burdensome creditcard fees.
I don't pay for subscriptions as I'm not planning to support the million or so news sites out there every day of the year ... and mostly I find the original non walled news item. Politically slanted opinion pieces might be particular to some news site, honestly they can keep it - sad they then have to advertise it with teasers - from what I've seen viewing the article in its entirety, ok yeah more times than not, the rest behind the curtain was actually a no brainer for those who've been paying attention.
I don't use an ad blocker but I have a long deny list of scum APIs and trackers that have done their dash being too intrusive - and I'm still sometimes surprised how many sites think I run an ad blocker. Also some years ago I used a browser that one click turned all images turned off, sadly the web moved on and it had it's design issues as well. Still since webp is not enabled - my system largely the same before webp arrived on the scene, but if you have firefox there's an addon [1] IMO, more and more ads use webp as I've noted less and less imagery clutter from ads over the last year or two.

I haven't seen an ad on any webpage for years.
