The problem is people who would pay to avoid ads are those worth targeting... I'd love if a single service could let me opt out of all tracking and ads internet wide for a fixed fee, say $50-$100 a month.
- drusepth 7y agoGoogle actually provided exactly this service (for all Google-based ads, which is a high %) for a little over a year before it was discontinued, supposedly because nobody actually used it. See: https://contributor.google.com/v/beta https://contributor.google.com/v/beta
- gwenzek 7y agoHow much are they keeping for themselves? I'd really like to see this business model arise, but if means giving 30% to Google I'm not so sure.
- drusepth 7y agoI don't have the exact number (I had only just signed up as a publisher about a month before they closed it -- maybe someone else can pop in with exact numbers) but I remember it being really low, around 5-7%. It was low enough that it wasn't really a factor when determining what to price your ad-free pages at (most people went with 1-2 cents per load) -- most people just priced at whatever average your ads were pulling in currently without worrying about the cut, since it was a fraction of a cent.
