I can't help but think of web rings on Geocities.
Same. Which I think is great, the real spirit of the early web.

I was waiting for this comment.
Can we bring these back?

A solution to this problem that doesn't take your time is to ask projects to put down a deposit. Bad/spam projects don't get the deposit back. https://repowcha.com solves this.

Getting a 404 after adding the script tag to my page, just to confirm this is the expected behaviour for now?
Yes, the ad endpoints are locked right now.
Doors are opening on March 15th. I wanted to give this a slow start to have a credible amount of projects to show.
Only ads with the script tag will be included to the ad network.
I believe this is a typo on your home page:
"No specific version numbers or IP addresses are saves."
Should be "saved".
I like this.
It reminds me of the old internet :-)

Nice site -- Good luck! I suggest having a native speaker of English do a once-over of your materials for editing help.
Some copyediting help:
FAQ:
Is Tiny Ads GDPR conform? -> "conformant" (or more naturally, "Does Tiny Ads conform to GDPR?"
No specific version numbers or IP addresses are saves. -> "saved"
How does the blacklisting works? -> "work"
It could distract our user when they want to decide to try us out -> This is a statement not a question ;)
Thanks. I fixed the typos.
It's more an experiment than a serious business venture. The idea is simple. We place a little ad on each others page with a link back to ones side project.
It privacy respecting (no user tracking) and will work in the beginning by me judging which project to include into the ad network.
I hope to create a positive sum game and give cool projects a new platform.
(The ad will start showing on March 15th)
