I donated to them, but when I pressed the confirm button, nothing happened so I hope they got my donation. Kinda funny it didn't work for me.

Bitcoin Micropayments Get Big Moment as Chicago Sun-Times Paywall Experiment Goes Live
Readers who visit the Chicago Sun-Times today will notice something they aren’t likely to have seen before: a bitcoin paywall separating them from their content.
The Chicago Sun-Times is the ninth-largest newspaper in the United States, and the first major US publication to trial a bitcoin paywall.
Instead of paying for a subscription, as patrons of the The Wall Street Journal or the Financial Times do, Chicago Sun-Times readers who visit the site on 1st February will be asked to donate bitcoin payments to the Taproot Foundation, or tweet about the nonprofit, in order to read articles.
