The quality of "ad user experience" (and the inevitable end state for the new platform) was well known back when you've come up with your original logic
(and the challenge with sponsors/patreons of not having micro-transactions and having more friction from users is also still there)
- christianqchung 2y agoYeah that's true. I was arguing with people about this in secondary school for what it's worth, all the while getting what I would call misfitting undergarment ads. Would you elaborate on what you mean by friction with micro transactions?
- eviks 2y agoIf you watch 100 creators and have a budget of $100, not only is it tedious to set up (and update) 100 subscriptions (high friction) But also it's impossible to allocate $1 to some creator you rarely watch because there are no micro transactions that are use-based (unlike with ads)
- christianqchung 2y agoThat makes sense. I know youtube has added channel memberships as a built-in now, but it doesn't seem easy to toss a one-time payment outside of livestream superchats. And even that isn't particularly use based.
