World war media
summary
Panel argues the web’s ad-impression model is broken and shows concrete counterproposals: an acceptable ads certification used by 40 of the top 100 Alexa sites, a new first universal content payment system that claims frictionless purchases everywhere, and publisher A/B tests proving 66% disable adblock when asked. Publishers with subscriptions report stable revenue while ad-reliant sites cram more units and lose experience, and the claim is that better metrics and direct customer relationships — not just ads — determine who survives.
