|ppkPay the Web Forward
How can we get a little less dependent on big tech? How should we fund the Web platform and its individual contributors? How should honest web payments work? Web Monetization by the ILF rewards well-written content instead of clickbait farms. Visitors such as you set their own rate of payment per hour, and pay more the longer they stay. Bloggers such as you can make some money off of their writing. In this session PPK will explain how Web Monetization works and why you should care. You can find more information at Webmonetization.org/docs.
Bio
PPK has been around web development for so long he's become part of the furniture. He used to run QuirksMode.org, the predecessor of MDN and caniuse - for free. He is still very interested in CSS, and even runs a CSS conference. Recently he figured out that, if Web Monetization had existed when he ran QuirksMode, he might have avoided burn-out - and made more money as well. That's why he joined the ILF, which sends him to spread the Web Monetization word at this conference or another so that web developers PAY for what they consume.
