I really like the solution put forth by Brave. Basically reify the attention economy and make it explicit so that you, as the producer of your attention get a say and a monetary stake in it.
- jefftk 4y agoIf you think the attention economy is legitimate, a browser that removes the ads publishers have put on their sites and instead serves different ads to the users is pretty shady.
- jgilias 4y agoI was referring more to the mechanism of paying content providers directly in proportion to the time I spend on their site. Without getting tracked all over the place and being shown intrusive ads. And without an opaque middleman taking most of the cut.
- jefftk 4y agoContent providers would push back pretty hard on the idea that a second on every site is worth the same. A high quality news article and a listicle cost very different amounts to produce, and we don't want even more of a race to the bottom here.
