If a nostr friendly video uploader did an ad model, would you support this?
Discussion
dependant on the ad model
what ad model would you support?
are they nostr/bitcoin related brands
can i pick and choose which brands i can allow to have ads on my videos
can i select where and how long i want them for
can the ads please not have any way to track my activity as a user
I think those are exactly the right questions.
I think if the ad model is transparent, and there is an effort to present quality companies and maintain a quality experience, and the ads themselves don’t rely on manipulative fear/anger based triggers… Then I would be all for this model.
It doesn’t have to be perfect, but I think I’d know if the effort was genuine.
I would support an ad model that
1)pays me sats to display the ad in my feed, 2)which is opt-in by default (i.e.- the default setting for the platform is "No Ads," and 3)where enough ad blocks mark an ad as spam and permanemtly remove it (that is, once a certain # of npubs block an ad, it is treated by servers as malicious).
I dont hate this as a starting point. Maybe you could set your sat-ad payment threshold. Something like "Ill see an ad, but only for 2k sats minimum"

Depends on the brands that advertise and if they’re also nostr-friendly.
What are the ads paying for? Is it something where the ads are there to offset hosting cost?
Could I opt out of the ad if I gave them the sats instead?
