How does this have anything to do with Bitcoin, on a fundamental level? Companies like Tinypass (http://www.tinypass.com/) do a pretty good job of this already with more traditional currencies.

It is strange that I have to quote the article as an explanation but here goes:

The Bitcoin Solution

In today’s world, quick payments online with little or no cost are readily available via bitcoin. Recognizing the potential this provides are a number of entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on what could be a game-changing industry update.

Micropayments of just a few cents per piece would offer greater incentive to consistently produce content worth paying for rather than optimize for headlines and SEO, since the probability of someone returning to a site where they didn’t receive ample value is low. Micropayments also reduce or eliminate the incentive to subvert the paywall, since the time to find a way around it may actually be economically more expensive than the few cents spent on the article. Enabling this are two companies that recently launched, offering bitcoin paywalls to solve this problem.
