> I am literally a worthless view to them. In fact for any ad that's beyond static text I am more likely to remember your brand and deliberately not buy your stuff in future. So effectively, any site that was being supported by my visits would be scamming the advertiser.
The cost of non-engaged viewers is baked into the CPM of the ad already. You aren't scamming anyone, you're just fulfilling expectations. :)
- ohitsdom 11y agoGood point. Calling that a "scam" is ludicrous.
- Nursie 11y agoTo be honest I was just kinda trying that argument on for size. It's not really a scam, but if an advertiser pays a site for my visit they are wasting their money. Of course I block ads routinely, so that's quite unlikely anyway. I think finding new ways to pay for content is a good thing.
