What on earth makes you think that direct democracy will eliminate the efforts of lobbyists? The money will just get redirected toward news and information outlets, because nobody will actually read the bills they are voting on.

As long as voting costs nothing, and the work comes from someone else, nobody is going to take it seriously.
Instead, attach the voter's name to the bill, as either yay, nay, or abstain. When their position is proven wrong, fine them to cover the damages their mistaken choice cost.
As is, voting is unjust. It leads to abominations like the draft.
