Web Monetization is a browser API which allows a website to make money without using ads and without requiring any user interaction. The user signs up to a Web Monetization Provider like Coil, and the provider sends micropayments to Web Monetized websites whenever the user visits them.
One of the perks of Web Monetization is that its JavaScript API can be used to make your page respond to Web Monetization. You can reward the people who support your site by giving web monetized viewers exclusive content.
This is a basic example of showing exclusive content only to web monetized visitors.
