Ask HN: What business models will replace ads on the web?
Most people dislike ads, but want content and apps on the web - therefore some economical model is needed, so what are the options for mass adopted systems?
- tobltobs 8y agoSame like for print.
- DarkWiiPlayer 8y agoOpen source, crowdfunding and good old paying for your products.
- dennisy 8y agoBut these already exist, so why no mass adoption? Edit: online publishing, could use open source projects for the tech, crowd source/fund the content, and ask people to pay for the privilege of reading.

Other than paying for content (which even when you do that you often STILL get ads, hulu for example). Ads aren't going anywhere. The fact that people dislike them is irrelevant. Ads are here to stay. So to answer your question, nothing. No business model is going to replace ads on the web.
