- danielweber 14y agoCool. Build it into the browser, and have websites say "if you are sending us flattr thingies we won't show you ads." That could even help bootstrap us there.
- sometodd 14y agoThe problem I had with Flattr is that not enough sites used it. I wound up putting the same money into Readability, which earmarked a chunk of change based on the domains of the sites I read that month. The catch is they had few sites sign up to claim that cash (among other reasons, authors had issues with the terms) and they caught a lot of flak for making money on the backs of others. I don't see a winning hand here. I would happily pay $X/month ($20? $30?) to strip ads from the whole web if money got to the creators. I don't want to pay $Y/month to each site I visit. My solution for most sites so far is to subscribe to the RSS feeds. At least the ads at the bottom of a feedburner'd feed aren't so bad, and I can sync the contents to my phone readily.
