This is an awesome post Matt. You explained it interestingly. Finally I understand the concept.
I'm curious what will this do for companies like Buymeacoffee?
Oh wow, that is a cool site, I've not seen it before. I guess one possibility is that they can both be used together. You could have web monetisation enabled and still have a link for people to buy you coffees, etc.
With the JS API for Web Monetisation you can detect if a browser is paying you or not. So you can change what is displayed. The obvious one is to only show adverts if the visitor does not have Web Monetisation enabled. The other could be to say something like "Hi! I see you don't have web monetization enabled, fancy buying me a coffee instead?".

That's a good approach. I'll tinker with the options this weekend to see what I can build. We're living in interesting times 😄
