This isn't an immediate solution, but I've been wondering if there could be a market for an app that we as consumers could use to tabulate micropayments locally (either based on browser history or based on the user opting to hit a "planned donation" button), and which would then generate an invoice and/or facilitate a transaction with a particular recipient either at the end of the year or when a given recipient accumulates enough planned micropayments to add up to an amount large enough to make electronic transfers or credit card payments economical.

Do not ever - even ironically - title anything "Make X Y again". Don't give further power to those memes and (TBH inherently conservative) modes of thinking about the world.

Um, I called this one some months ago, and for anyone who was paying any attention at all during COVID, this was entirely foreseeable. Wear your masks out there, people.
