Hi HN! I’m Mathias, the founder of Adless. A bit of additional info about Adless: - Currently it’s just me and I’ve and bootstrapped Adless to this point over the last months. - It’s not crypto. Adless is about finding a more consumer-friendly solution to the problem of Internet monetization, not experimenting with new technologies. My stance is that implementation details can change later if we find product-market fit and decide that a crypto-based solution offer an overall superior technology for the problem. - Instead of focusing on privacy-by-technology, the focus is on achieving privacy-by-policy and ultimately privacy-by-business-model. - I have long wanted to explore this problem because I hate how ads manipulate me (and in particular my child) but I also do not particularly enjoy what stand-alone subscriptions are doing in terms of accessibility of content (+ there is no chance I’m making that many subscriptions). And with concepts like “metaverse” being pushed, I think it is more urgent than ever to explore alternatives to ads (and generally data-dependent revenue models) as the primary way of financing the decentralized Internet. - The typical subscription sales channel will be via content creator partners websites, so you will not find a strong consumer-focused sales channel directly on adless.net, although you can obviously subscribe from there.
