What if we implemented ad-like features in which the revenue was paid in percentages to the relays for hosting the ads, then some small amount to each user who viewed the ads?

Thatโ€™s value to the end user for their time, value to the relay for hosting to their audience, and value to the marketer by deciding how far of a reach they want based on how much they want to spend.

We could even evolve it to an opt-in system (on the client side) and maybe a self-directed algo where I truly see ads for content I am interested in, and how many a day or specified time, not what someone thinks I am based on rage posting.

Way more effective in my opinion and generates a properly aligned incentive model for revenue generation without selling out users.

Good idea! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก

I donโ€™t use other services like Twitter Facebook etc etc as I detest advertising amongst other bullshit. I am happy to pay a premium per month not to see it at all. Just pay to be part of something I see value in

I am fan of premium subscription without ads too! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซ‚

Some people donโ€™t mind ads and they should make that choice!

I agree as long as I have an option to totally opt the fuck out

I am totally with you! Donโ€™t want to see even a hint of ads! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

No ads!!!

Agreed!

Exactly. I said relay, but I guess really this could & should be more client-based than relay based. Allows an income stream for #[10]โ€‹ #[11]โ€‹ #[12]โ€‹ #[13]โ€‹ and others but also gives the users autonomy to opt-in and get paid while providing a cost incentive not to spam the crap out of everyone. Think Brave browser-esque design.

Will it be possible to not see ads for something you already bought, though, if we have algos?

If itโ€™s the matter of ads injection, I am sure yes! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก
