Thinking of how the Brave browser blocks ads but then replaces them with their own to generate revenue.
What if there was a browser/chrome/Firefox add-on that you paid ($2 a month?) That installed a cookie on your device that would then remove adds from all.the sites you visited, that gained a share of what you paid in order to remove ads for you. So mass media sites, tech sites, etc. Would recognize your cookie, see that you’ve paid, and track how many sites you visited and then bill the company for how many users subscribed to the ad free service.
Not using cookies, but Coil and Flattr do exactly this.
They eliminate ads on the sites you visit with the consent of the site and share revenue with them?
Just to add: Coil and Flattr.
Another useful link is the proposed web standard web monetization which Coil, Mozilla, and the Creative Commons are involved in.
On the subject of Flattr, they seem more like an alternative to Patreon but you choose how much you pay in total each month instead of how much you pay to each creator.
