I was replying more to your point that micro transactions lead to perverse incentive structures.
Perhaps an aggregated service over individual service would change the dynamic but I think many of the same incentives would remain.
From the user’s perspective, it is one less step involved. We just have to pay x every months and not think about it. We don’t have to babysit yet another number going up or down on yet another account.

Yeah, and I imagine the value proposition is not great, from what we’ve seen in music streaming services. Still, for me it would be better than either paywalls or microtransactions.
