Louis Rossman has stated in a few of his Youtube videos that he would make more money if you sent him $1.00 than if you watched adds in a years worth of videos. I don’t imagine that Twitter or Reddit are any better.
I think that what we’re actually seeing is the death of advertising supported services. There’s just not enough money in adds to be viable and there’s no more free investor money to burn.
This is however not something I think we, as consumers, should necessarily celebrate. This also means that we are very likely nearing the end of the “free” web that we are used to.
No, I’m not saying that selling out one’s personal integrity is preferable, but if it turns out that advertisement as a business model effectively isn’t sustainable, we will just have to accept the reality that we will more and more commonly have to actually pay to access content and services on the web.
Ultimately he wants all users to be paying users.
