- laironald 15y agocan one monetize an extension? i've always thought it would be nearly impossible based on its distribution. in any case.. its a long drawn out process but i think you can monetize through understanding customer taste. preference in movies is valuable because it is an effective consumer targeting mechanism. idk. what do you think? (or worse case, you can put up a ton of amazon dvd affiliate links and pray that someone buys a dvd. :P)

In summary: It's difficult to monetize an extension that mashes up A and B, unless you own A or B. (And usually just B - RottenTomatoes in this case - because Netflix could have done it themselves.) The main attempts have been by messing with web pages, e.g. injecting affiliate IDs onto Amazon links or switching Google search results. Most of this violates advertising/affiliate agreements (Amazon's not going to pay for links which users were going to click on anyway) and often diminishes user experience.
