As soon as I see random site asking for money before I even see a content, I just close the page and find another with roughly the same content. Just ask nicely and maybe I'll disable adblock or donate if I feel like the content was worth it.

No you won't. You'll think, "Maybe I'll do it tomorrow," or, "You know, I didn't really enjoy it that much," as you go back to the site every day.
Your statement is just like the people who put a rating for one star on an app, and say, "I'll change it after I've used it if I like it," or, "One Star until Feature X is implemented," when Feature X was never promised as part of the app. And then when the change is made, the rating is never changed.
Proposed micro transaction model won't make me pay for it anyway. Why someone feels entitled to my money, just because they facerolled their keyboard for a half an hour? Sometimes it feels like authors should actually pay me for reading/installing that pile of garbage they call "content".
They're not the ones feeling entitled. You read their content. You used the product of their labor. Isn't the entire basis of Capitalism that you pay for the product of other people's labor?
"Sometimes it feels like authors should actually pay me for reading/installing that pile of garbage they call "content"."
And yet, you're still reading it.
