That seems like a good idea, although it is maybe difficult to bring it into reality. Only thing I would change is not basing the percentage on the number of views because this will (just like ads) make an incentive for newspapers to promote clickbait. Instead this system could be a lot smarter by measuring (for example) the time spent reading an article because it is not bound by the classical advertising constraints.

Then you have the problem of speedreaders like me vs slow-readers plus that it's still not tracking free.
