And should be without user consent. It would be the best mobile-first UX. This technology should be called algorithmic payments!

We should use machine learning to detect if the user want to pay something or not!

  userWantsToPay : function(user) {
    //doDeepLearningMagic(user);

Looks like a fantastic improvement over the current internet

  void website() {
    if (userWantsToPay()) {

    show_obnoxious_ad_that_calls_the_same_website_function();
  }
