from Web Monetization-enabled visitors.
The ability to transfer money has been a long-standing omission from the web platform.
As a result, the web suffers from a flood of advertising and broken business models.
Web monetization provides an open, native, efficient, and automatic way to compensate
creators, pay for content, and support crucial web infrastructure.

This opens up the possibility for streaming money, which makes more web monetization
use cases possible for the first time.
