Seems like a win/win to me. Advertisers would actually pay the eyeballs that should be paid for seeing ads instead of the middleman in the attention economy. The technology in the Basic Attention Token performs all the functions instead.
- jamiequint 7y ago> instead of being paid nothing as it is now You get paid in the free content you consume as it is now. It's literally the reason you don't have to subscribe to every website you visit.
- tty2300 7y agoI get paid for working a job. I don't want any ads on my screen.

- tty2300 7y agoMy point was I don't need my browser injecting extra ads that I get paid for.
- Gustomaximus 7y agoPeople want free YouTube, maps, email etc. Maybe you will pay, but the market as a whole has been very clear here. Free wins. Personally I dont mind either. I'd prefer to see ads relevant to me rather within some limitations of privacy. I feel government needs to set the limits here rather than expect business to self regulate. Nor will the market self regulate as this is more technical than most people are interested to understand, and back to free wins.
