Refactor the "Exclusive Content Generator" to use link instead of meta tags

Currently, https://webmonetization.org/exclusive-content helps you generate an html snippet and a script to manage showing exclusive content on a page for web monetized visitors.

We should update the page & generator functionality to conform with the new Web Monetization spec, that uses link tags instead of meta tags. https://webmonetization-preview.netlify.app/specification.html

We should also remove the use of the receipt verifier, see #317.

Note: link tags are supported throughout the document, not just in the head.

We might also need to update the CloudFlare service worker associated with the page; some of the logic resides there: https://github.com/WICG/webmonetization/tree/main/workers/exclusive-content

I've removed the hidden content from the docs and saved them locally. This task still needs to be completed if we want to offer the generator.

Based on conversations during the Web Monetization work week, I've decided to close this and the related issue.

  • This functionality has been completely hidden from the docs since at least June 2023.
  • The script is obsolete due to updates to the WM spec and needs to be reworked.
  • The functionality has logic residing in a CloudFlare service worker that we must maintain.

If we feel that an exclusive content generator would still be beneficial, I'd prefer for its creation to be handled by a member of the WM community and added to our list of libraries.
