Whatever It Would Cost to Eliminate Mobile Ads, Consumers Don't Want to Pay It
- dhuramas 11y agoWould the results be different, if the questions were differently worded - say How much would you pay for a 100% foolproof adblocker?
- monochromatic 11y agoA nice defense of a shady and failing business model. Ad blockers have worked just fine for a long time, and they're about to get a lot more widespread.
- violentvinyl 11y agoWho are all these people who spend money after clicking on an ad? The only time I ever click on an ad is by accident, and as soon as I realize the mistake I've made, I immediatly go back (or in the worst case, get frustrated and close the tab and give up on whatever fork my browsing was taking at the time).
- oneJob 11y agoHow much would you pay for content? That is a completely different question than say... How much would you pay for us to remove ads from our content, given you can go elsewhere for similar content? It's not just a price-point issue, either. It is also a transactions costs issue. The old model of paying for one source of content has given way to the new model of forever being only a click away from switching content providers. Determining who gets paid what, enforcing that, and distributing the paycheck, that's basically not doable at the moment,,, except through ads.
