We should pay people to watch ads

I was thinking about how much time I waste watching videos before the actual content starts and it got me wondering if we could just flip the script and pay people to watch ads, maybe even use the data to create more effective marketing strategies or something. It sounds crazy but the more I think about it the more it kinda makes sense.

You will get a $1 am hour and you ask yourself if it that's worth your life time.

Welcome to the attention based economy.

Attention for money is the crypto airdrop economy, and the future basis of UBI, etc- you have a good mind. What are you building?

Back in the day you could download a special web browser that had ads at the top and bottom of the browser window and they would pay you for "surfin' the web" but I never did it because I enjoyed web surfing and to do it for money would be akin to whoring.

“Basic Attention Token” in the Brave Browser does that.
