I don't really understand the notion that people hate Ads. People hate irrelevant ads. I'm stoked when an Ad reminds me of a new CD that came out of a band I like, or the latest book that people have been talking about, etc.
I really think targeted Ads are the way to go. Hell, I wouldn't even mind filling out information to help target ads.
- radu_floricica 16y agoThis could actually be the kind of problem that's solvable by engineering. Make a simple and easy to use ad creation interface. Let me spend as much as I want for ads on certain subreddits/geoips. Make a system that sets the price by bidding, and that allows flagging/voting on an ad. Then advertise it. It's incidentally what I think 4chan is missing too. Not necessarily for /b/, but the domain oriented boards coupled with some geoip would make for some pretty targeted ads. I think it's a pretty big loss not letting the little guy spend his $100 if he wants too.
- fauigerzigerk 16y agoI hate ads with animations in them no matter how targeted. If it moves I block it aggressively. If it doesn't move, I even click on it sometimes to support the site.
