I think there's some chance we get a "proof of purchase" system where there is some entity that takes a $10 payment to give out a unique identity token that you need to present to visit most sites. if you have a revocation process for ones used for bad actors, it seems like it would work pretty well.

Except if your country is under sanctions.

That's called an IP address. You pay your ISP $50+ every month to get one. Has it worked so far?

If the bad guys also had to pay $50/month/IP it would probably work.
The bad guys don't pay that much. And sometimes the bad guys actually use the IPs of other people (botnets on residential IPs) and don't pay anything at all.

They pay something. You can get a few ten cents per gigabyte for a voluntary proxy right now. I've never tried it long enough to get a minimum payout, so could be a scam for all I know (or maybe the minimum payout is the scam).
What would stop you offering someone a few tens of cents per GB to borrow any other token barrier you put up?
