So, in the long run, how is your app not becoming Google?
Anyone who makes money with ads has rational incentives to not respect your user's time and privacy. That's even worse for search engines.
I would gladly pay for search engines that have community curated content, I want business that have incentives aligned with me as a customer, free stuff with ads is horse shit.
- richardsocher 5y agoThanks for your feedback. That's helpful. Private ads worked for DDG to some degree but we think it's not the most creative idea. We've just launched our MVP version this week and haven't implemented these other more creative monetization ideas. We care deeply about trust, privacy and choice so we want to be careful: We don't want to implement these things or tell our competition about our plans before making progress and getting feedback from our users on them.
