I realize it's a controversial topic, but I would welcome a bot that posts outline links to paywalled content.

While not completely brain-dead, a blockchain still is not necessary to solve this use case.

If you pay your AWS bill with the Amazon Rewards Visa, the transaction is categorized under Amazon and you'll get 5% rewards (only redeemable on Amazon though)
