Google tried this with Google Contributor: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8637365 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8637365 (2014) https://contributor.google.com/v/beta https://contributor.google.com/v/beta But it was never very publicized and I'm not sure how well it worked. It seems you can't sign up as a user anymore but they're still fielding individual publishers? I would assume it just wasn't very popular, but feelings on programmatic ads have shifted and it's definitely worth trying again IMO. Ideally Google One would bundle all this (YT Premium, Play Pass, etc.) for the users who want that, but offering them separately might make more sense for many users.
