We _require_ that ads and other trackers are removed for our customers (basically, when we have a certain cookie set). And our users know that if they see our logobar on a site that they shouldn’t see ads- so they report if something goes wrong.

But cash-wise - the pitch is only that our users will bring in more money than ads - if you want to, for example, put premium content behind a paywall, that’s fine, we don’t get involved with that. But, like with advertising, the only real way to increase your payout is to get more unique users.

I have had this idea also in my head for quite a while. Did not bother to search if it was already done. I am do tired of paywalled things/ads. I do not lind paying, but I don't want to subscribe everytime someone sends me a paywalled link on another website. How many websites and customers do you have?

here’s the official list of sites: https://scroll.com/sites and we’ll be adding more soon

I’m not sure that our user count is public information right now - but we just came out of private beta last week and it’s growing fast!
