Lightning Network Micropayments: Transforming Incentives in Digital Knowledge Markets https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/technology/3210033-lightning-network-micropayments-transforming-incentives-in-digital-knowledge-markets A study by Newcastle University found that introducing micropayments on a Q&A site led to a significant improvement in the quality of online discourse, making it more friendly and engaging. This contradicts the common perception of the internet as a toxic environment. The study suggests that small monetary incentives can have a profound impact on individual behavior, promoting more positive interactions. The researchers attribute the success of their experiment to the use of lightning, which enabled them to implement a micropayment system.
