Hard to sketch in a tweet, but at a very abstract level we can look at "taxing" search such that a small fraction goes to browser and engine, per hit. Works best with a search protocol. Need registration, contract terms for all parties.

This also needs anti-fraud measures, the ability to stream tiny payments, and probably some form of privacy-preserving advertising. The latter is coming, payments has ILP. We need some regulation but not much.

I'm skipping over a ton of details but I think there's a possibility. My hope in writing it up is that people can help simplify it to the point that it works. We'll see!
