- mh- 9y agoThis was already going to be a tough sell with major publishers. If Google isn't willing to promise they'll keep it around for a couple years, it simply won't be worthwhile for publishers to invest the engineering (and legal resources) to do these deals and the integrations. I don't expect this latest incarnation to gain traction in its current form. I do have hope for this subscription model still. If Google or someone else makes a serious go of it, I'll be cheering them on.

- mankyd 9y agoI'm not sure where the "trust" issue is. You pay $x/month, you see less ads. If they shut it down, they stop charging you money and you start seeing the ads you saw before.
