If it wasn’t those two it’d be someone else. You might not even have the web as we kno it without the ad analytics.
Unless you have a viable alternative monetization method?
- recursive 9y agoI kind of liked it better when it was hobbyists and enthusiast sites. The "web as we know it" isn't necessarily a great thing.
- fooker 9y agoHobbyists and enthusiasts do not scale to ~3 billion people.
- recursive 9y agoNeither do most other things done by hobbyists. I don't understand what you're saying. The only things that are good enough to do are those that scale to 3 billion people?
- fooker 9y agoI am saying, if you want a web by and for hobbyists and enthusiasts, billions of people has to be excluded. Where do you think new hobbyists come from?
- CaptSpify 9y agoWho says we need a monetization method? The web existed and was great pre-advertising.
- tboyd47 9y agoAlso, if there is going to be monetization via advertising, why does it have to be a blind auction controlled by an algorithm driven by CPM with a huge cut going to Google? I wonder what would happen if the major publications collectively decided to switch to impression-based rather than click-based metrics.
