Ask HN: Is there hope for micropayments?

I've always heard that narrative that micropayments simply won't work and that people don't like it.

Recently, I've found myself paying for OpenAI's GPT-3 playground app in micropayments format. I use it for small tasks here and there and pay around 2-4$ a month. It feels totally fine and now I don't see why I wouldn't do the same for my Google searches or usage of maps.

Does anyone else have examples of services/products that they pay for in micropayments?
