Micropayments of this sort are one of those use cases that people have been trying to put into place forever, and they always founder on the fact that users hate them.

Virtual world users like them.
I put on virtual pyrotechnics shows in various grids and and get paid or tipped in either the grid's own digital currency or in Gloebits. Gloebits are better since they can be spent on various different grids and by all my accounts. I also take paypal.

The 'problem' you just described has nothing to do with crypto-currency as the 'solution'. Apple Pay is the most frictionless payment system I've used, can integrate with the browser, and attached to any of my credit cards.
Paying for 'bits' of content is already a thing, you can buy single article access on many of the newspaper websites today.
A blockchain is also a digital signature, a verifiable programmable general purpose ledger for smart contracts. Just giving each FB user a wallet id, even without money, has a lot of potential.
