I can’t help but think that this is an example of jumping to the wrong solution too quickly. Is the problem that the web doesn’t contain as much high-quality content anymore as before; or that independent content providers are having a hard time making a living. I don’t enjoy the web as much as I used to, but I am pretty sure that in the early days almost nobody was making money off the content they created. So maybe the problem is discoverability rather than compensation. It would be helpful to see a little more of the analysis that Mozilla has done to define the problem.
