I 100% believe that this is a business, it's just that the whole thing is so unknown that the revenues are hard to predict. But then what are the monetizable points in the new framework?

If even a small fraction of your readers feel your writing is worth the encouragement of a penny to keep it coming, then that's some small persuasion above and beyond blogging for the love of it. And sure, it's turtles all the way down. Aggregators can be encouraged by their readers just as much as those who they aggregate - even by the aggregators themselves. If there's an opportunity for an intermediating impresario, excellent. Who needs success?

Either they become a corporation, like Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo, or they make a deal with a corporation, like Andrew Sullivan at the Atlantic. I don't think the structure will ever be as flat as creative<->fan. There's always going to be at least one layer in the middle for the impressario.
