If your business model can be defeated by a browser extension, then it wasn't a business to begin with.
The internet is in need of a unified subscription service. One that you can pay a monthly fee and see as many ad supported websites as you want, without ads.
- tobltobs 11y agoThere would already be a unified subscription service if there would be a real demand for it.
- oneeyedpigeon 11y agoAs ad-blocking becomes more common, demand for a unified subscription service grows. Hopefully, it's feasible, because I think it would be a wonderful thing. Some subscription services, which remove ads, are doing pretty well as far as I can tell; Twitch is the obvious one that springs to mind.
- molmalo 11y agoAnd after a few years it would end up being similar to cable tv. It started offering «more and better content» without ads, because you already paid a subscription. And once they had enough users and content, they added ads. Whats stopping those websites from doing the same?
- nazrak 11y agoI tried to contact some media sites a month ago because I was creating that service. No one even replied my email. I do not think they are even interested in it.
