From the Article, I can summarize it as the process of earning money from a particular website or blog by using it as an advertising platform.
Can you please tell me more about the advantage of being a user?
Do user's get paid?
No, not an advertising platform.
Let me put it like this, people who provide content online want to generate money from it. People who consume content online, are willing to pay for premium contents (tutorials, article etc). What web monetization does is allow a user who has a monthly subscription access all the contents that are behind a paywall through one single subscription. Imagine instead of paying for Medium, TechCrunch etc and other blogs that require you to pay a monthly subscription to read, you can have access to all these with just one subscription. You're happy, the creators are happy also...
Users don't get paid, the reward for being a user is the access to premium contents.
Monetization here means an individual (creator) getting money for the content they're putting on the web.
