I totally get Marco's decision to go with a paid version of his app. Of course, he doesn't provide an option for publishers to opt out of providing free versions of their content, which is what they're doing when Instapaper strips all the ads off of them.
- hullo 15y agoHe actually does: http://www.instapaper.com/publishers http://www.instapaper.com/publishers
- haribilalic 15y agoHe also does through Readability (http://www.readability.com/ http://www.readability.com/). He's an advisor to Readability, Readability's iOS apps are based on the Instapaper iOS apps and Instapaper can be linked with Readability to provide Instapaper activity to Readability so that publishers can be paid. http://www.marco.org/2011/02/01/readabilitys-new-service http://www.marco.org/2011/02/01/readabilitys-new-service
- warp 15y agoThat's not entirely true. Whatever article I am reading in instapaper is an article I have visited in a normal webbrowser first, with all their ads in place. Then decided I didn't have time to read it at that moment and clicked the instapaper "read later" bookmark, but by that time I have already seen and ignored your ads.
