@guyking Of course. But the % of people that will circumvent this is very low and potentially has 0 impact on real possible revenue. The point of this tool does not seem to be a 100% failsafe solution, but more of friction less way to get users to pay for your content.
@vallieres@guyking Exactly, we wanted to launch with the easiest to implement solution. As we grow our network and the blocking of the Mask script becomes a problem, then we will offer new ways for our users to implement Mask.
"Double Your Earnings" ... "Unfortunately, that means you don’t earn as much as you should. Your loyal readers will be happy to pay a subscription instead of seeing ads." The Market dictates how much you should earn in my opinion especially off of a website, (which are going to be obsolete in a decade or less). Mask is not going to double earnings for ANYONE, nor will it encourage people to subscribe anymore than a regular pop-up plugin or something similar already created!
@martintj The point of Mask is not to encourage people to subscribe, it is to offer website owners an alternate revenue stream; we are just the platform. Furthermore, there is incredible potential to boost revenue with Mask. If a loyal reader would rather pay $10 a year than see ads, the website owner is going to make more money.
@martintj websites and display ads aren't going anywhere. I work with a media company and we are testing mask to see if we can provide some ad blocker readers with a way to pay for content and still be ad free
@leonhitchens I visited your website, many different pages, TRYING to see an ad, I guess my blockers are too plentiful and powerful?? I did notice your referral link for Mask however.
I’m excited to announce Mask, a project Jordan and I have been working on for a while now. We saw a problem with current monetization strategies on the web: no one wants to see ads. Unfortunately, this leaves leave companies producing awesome content out of a lot of revenue. We’re hoping Mask solves this problem. Let us know what you think!
@itsjaked Congratulations, looks like a solid idea and platform, I can use huge potentials for it. I think marketing and making sure ad blockers don't get on your case would be your biggest barriers when starting out. Try to reachout to bloggers at first. Good luck guys, love it!
