Comment on Ad companies should just cut out the middle man and pay me to watch their ads

Yeah idk why this model never took off, I’m guessing cause of greed.
Give me a wallet, I can fill it with watching ads and then use it for your service.
I think the reason why it doesn’t work is because it allows the user to minimize their ad exposure, not maximize.

I’d think the opposite is also true. If you’re trying to maximize your exposure to ads and increase your income, you’re probably not the target audience for the advertised products. If you’re relying on fractions of a penny per ad viewed, you’re not likely to be able to afford the product they’re hocking

That makes sense, they want to show ads to people who don’t want to see ads and don’t have time to see many.
IMO it just means advertisement is self defeating in the long run.
