Be careful… easy to develop a perverse incentive.

Yeah, this sounds suspiciously like they're inching toward the Brave business model.

They do have to make money, but advertising leaves a sour taste in my mouth after what Google did with it; made the web so messy with ads and other bullshit. Sure, I’ve got uBlock killing all the ads and auto play bullshit that the web is rife with. It just sucks that the masses are paying the price by being inundated with an obscene amount of ads.

Hope that gets open-sourced and made in to an complete out-of-the-box advertising platform. I've tried selfhosting ads and as of now there isn't much except for revive-adserver. Sure, and the big surveillance tech everyone uses.
