Second point: I don't have to convince anyone that ads are necessary to fund most of the visible web.
You’re selling an ICO based on that premise, I’d argue that yes you do very much need to convince at least some people of that. In addition I’d argue that you need to convince people (against the evidence of their own experience) that the majority of the “visible web” isn’t a dumpster fire that would be better off dead.
Our token sale is over, it ended in 24 seconds. I'm not selling anything, least of all to you who are free to use Brave as a baseline ad blocker. Publishers working with us call that "free-riding".
It's great you don't like most content. Who does? Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is shit) has not been repealed. But we do not all agree on which 90%, and even the top 10% by many measures needs ads. Why are you trying to make your animus against ads into a universal? Seems cultish.
