Here's one way to monetize.
Ads inside GIFs.
It's genius, really. Most GIFs are looping and are often watched several times. What if the service to which you upload a GIF injected an extra frame, lasting, say 40ms, that displays a subliminal advertisement. It would go by so fast that most people wouldn't notice. But then later they would get unexplainable cravings of the product that was advertised.
People are already tuning out the obvious ads, so subliminal ads are much more effective. Better yet, adblocking software won't be able to block such subliminal ads without blocking the entire GIF.

- bduerst 11y agoThere's also no way to control the negative content too. Imagine someone creates a pro-ISIS beheading gif and Coca-Cola paid to slap an icon in the corner.
- manigandham 11y agoPeople are not "tuning out" obvious ads. If they're obvious then they are getting some attention, especially at the subliminal level you describe.
