Yes, I'd much rather authorize automatic payment to sites… say give the Springfield Shopper the right to pull $0.01 each time I read one of their articles until they hit a $1 limit, or up to $0.25 per week, or something like that. There needs to be a throttle to keep someone from looting me, but as long as they stay in their budget I'm happy.


The benefit of the lottery system from this post is that banks don't need to process every payment - only winning ones.
