I think it's a meme more than it's actually useful
No no, we are serious! Check out https://L402.org
is a re-arch of that worthwhile just to use these macaroons
The answer is NO and that's why we are not seeing it happen.
Not to mention the clients
BIG chicken and egg problem. The only way around seems to be to actually focus on a niche and let people know "this is our official client but you can build your own". Data applications (a Bloomberg like terminal that can add third party sources with a standard protocol for data, visualizations and payments) may be the killer app to start growing the ecosystem... but it still remains be seen.
Go unlock a video at Lightning.Video and tell me how http and macaroons would make that better for anyone?
You are a bit off here though. You are thinking "people who want to consume my videos can go to my platform and watch them". If you paywall them using the L402 standard, people in MY PAGE (or any other) can watch your videos while you get paid.
