There's Google Contributer, which lets you pay several pennies per article rather than see ads. It could work if existing ad networks let you opt out of ads and cover the display impressions.
Edit: It also shows you pictures of cats instead of ads - http://i.imgur.com/v3jSqyg.png http://i.imgur.com/v3jSqyg.png
- manigandham 11y agoGoogle is the biggest ad network but still does not run most of the ads you actually see on any given webpage. The price is a lot higher if you really want to subsidize everything.
- bduerst 11y agoRight, but it's a step in the right direction IMO. That's how ecosystems change - the leaders add new features and the network follows.
