This and another article I was reading a week ago got me thinking - is there an opportunity for a friendly ad network?
At the very least I'd like it to have:
- no tracking of visitors, it decides what ads to show based on the content of the site being viewed
- all ads are approved by a human before being displayed, and link bait will be banned
- ads are static images only, no js allowed
I'm also wondering about a feature so users can pay to support sites and in exchange they won't be shown ads.
If anyone wants to work on this, my email address is in my profile :-)
- haraball 11y agoThat idea sounds similar to The Deck: http://decknetwork.net/ http://decknetwork.net/
- hammock 11y agoSounds just like banner ads back in the 90s! Still looking for an idea in this thread that moves us forward...
- Zooper 11y agoSubset of JS permitted in a policy-declared Iframe, similar to CSP, limited to merely fixed rendering, no networking whatsoever, save the initial script exec. Ads go in here, or browser blocks them by default, as a spam-like prevention measure.
- michaelbuckbee 11y agoSomeone else mentioned TheDeck, but another prominent place where this is the case is Reddit (very on topic, minimal % of content, no tracking, approved, etc.) Two issues that come up: - This pays less, not so much the static images and lack of link bait, but the lack of retargeting. - They're still blocked by ad-blockers at the same rate as everything else
