So I get ads are terrible, obviously. I run ad-blockers all the time. But people also get angry at paywalls. So that leaves me wondering, if not through ads or subscriptions, how is a news publisher supposed to sustain itself?

I understand your concerns and I have as little confidence in the concept of crypto as it currently exists as you’re expressing.
I had no intention to peg a user’s CPU, but if we extend the concept of CPU cycles for content, perhaps a browser could process some data or make calculations, like say data analytics, or some other distributed process that would benefit the author and in doing so would allow both to have a win-win experience.
I don’t know if it’s actually feasible, but if it’s really unobtrusive and clearly stated then yes I think that would be fair game.
