This glosses over the whole problem with this model. The more apps there are, the more you have to share out the subscription income. At some point, there will be so many apps that there is not enough subscription income to cover them. And how do you judge the value of each app?
Besides that, I really don't see the problem with ads. I buy things all the time, I want people to sell to me. What I don't want is people selling me crap I don't want, but I have zero problem with people selling me crap I do want.
I'm perfectly able to filter advertising online, it does not interfere with my browsing at all.
Ads aren't the problem. Privacy is the problem. But you got to let sellers know what you're interested in for them to sell you the right stuff.
- AndrewDucker 14y agoAds are the problem, because they turn you from the customer into the product. When the site starts tuning itself to produce more clicks for the advertisers, rather than for a better user experience, that is a problem.
- ed209 14y agoIt's not as clear cut as that. Advertisers expect viewers > viewers expect a good product Why would a company, whose revenue depends on lots of users, build a crappy product that loses them those users and hence the advertising money? Ads are not the problem. You can still build a good product based on advertising revenue.
