I could imagine it functioning as a tax-funded budget, but coordinating such a thing globally and coming to a consensus seems impossible, that’s something we’re really bad at, and it would have the very same underfunding problems as other even more urgent expenses have.
As an existing alternative to ad-funded sites, I’ve seen non-profit news survive on donations and tax deductions, so maybe strengthening that model could work, but it would only help with larger entities that can be registered.
We need something to replace ads, that’s for sure, or at least decrease their influence.
Im sure you could go to a site to load up your tip jar and then click a tip button on sites you want to tip.
However, I don’t think taking the internet away from poor people is a good move.

Definitely. It creates a monoculture and theres a few that are easily identifiable that have had terrible repercussions.
