Got it, so being gay isn’t “wrong” or “invalid”, it’s just “bad”?

I didn’t say that.

My point here is that personal views can differ from political policy views.

Yes, that’s what I was referring to. You might call it a “contract”.

The issue is that it’s opt-out. Instead of that, people should opt-in only to the parts they want.

If you’re talking about injecting Axate ads where Google and other ads already are

No, I’m talking about creating a protocol where browser clients can inform website owners that the customer is using this separate method of payment. It could happen separate from the browser (e.g. as an extension), but the browser gives it a lot more visibility.

The UX here would be pretty simple: if the user has enabled this feature, websites would prompt users for payment or to show ads.

Browsers win because they get a revenue stream, Axate wins by having more customers, and websites win because they’re getting paid instead of customers blocking ads.

The problem with doing that with fiat is that there are transfer fees. You’d essential be paying a $3 to transfer 5 cents. That’s why everyone uses crypto for this.

That’s why you batch up transfers. General flow:

  1. users load up a balance (say, $20)
  2. service (e.g. Axate) tracks which payments have been made and bulk pays website owners monthly or whatever

Boom, total number of transfers are pretty low, no need for cryptocurrencies.

Both are responsible.

Sure, but the browser vendor has very little at stake, whereas the user has everything at stake. At the end of the day, it’s on the user.

Not good enough.

You’re welcome to your opinion. I personally don’t have an issue with how people spend their money, I only have an issue with how they treat their employees and choices they make about their product.
