This solution seems to be addressing a problem completely different from what the author is discussing. How would using a cryptocurrency solution reduce monthly fees for subscriptions? How would it help reduce the aversion to paying for previously free content? How would it help with bundling?

Someone always have to pay, one way or the other.

With microtransactions you only pay for what you want to consume and you don't need 10+ different subscriptions. That is the benefit.

If you only want to spend 2 dollar a month, that's fine.
