CoinTent: A Sustainable Ad-Free Web

Excellent idea, I've been waiting for something like this to happen for months! It is clearly obvious that the system like this needs to exist, and I'm sure that the company that succeeds at implementing it will be huge.

I really love how you are going about doing it, and I wish you luck!

The big challenge of a system like that that I see, is getting users on board. To me it seems that the best solution is to allow publishers to "reward" subscribers with additional premium content. Are you planning to implement something like this?

Thanks for the positive feedback! Glad to hear you believe in the idea and want to see it be successful.

I agree that getting users on board is the biggest challenge. Premium content is certainly one additional way to get more users on board (and we've actually built a product that let's websites gate access / sell premium content, too!). I think there are actually a few ways we can give users more value by connecting them with the sites they love even more, so we're definitely thinking about how to bridge that connection! Let us know if you have other ideas or specific things you'd want to see.
