        1. I see a very near future where we all have a pre-bid process that starts w/ 'which ad blocker is the user running?' AramZSReads/775677785767632896

        The best scenario would have been, if ad blocker like Brave wants to insert its own 'safe' ads, they can transmit payment to media orgs...

      But the ecosystem currently lacks a common API (even a common standard) by which external parsing systems can transmit payment to media orgs

    So there's this huge gd gap where companies (like em or not) want to provide a model for paying for the media that sustains them, but can't

      I think, at least in the shorter term, this is not a bad solution. The user runs a mechanism by which they implicitly approve the ads served

        That mechanism has an approved ad network. Then existing site systems for determining what ads go on page make that part of the process.

          There is really only one system where that happens & it is header bidding. So ad blocker usage becomes one more signal about value of users.

            'If you're using Ad Blocker Plus, bid goes to their network, if you're using Brave it goes to the Brave network, etc...'

                The superior model is that readers pay for their favorite systems and those systems pay for content and advertisements are out of the loop

                    I think the huge important signal we have to watch right now is what the IAB's reaction to this (ad blocker-run ad networks) is going to be.

                      Is the IAB's common cause improving advertising? Or is it serving the vast network of shitty semi-fraudulent ad tech that is its members?

                        Considering the IAB CEO's baffling personal attacks on individuals who run ad blockers, I foresee a difficult pivot, if they bother to try.

                          But if they don't... then that should be it, that's all the proof publishers need to see that the IAB isn't an organization for them.

                            Explicit: If the IAB can't accept a low-tracking, consumer-choice-focused, lightweight ad network; publishers should leave the group.

                              Because what it is telling you is that the IAB does not now nor will it ever work on your behalf, as media. Or on behalf of your readers.

                                The clear path of the future is going to be more empowered consumers. This trend won't stop. We need to work with it or be sunk by it.

                                  And honestly, if our job is journalism, our orgs are in service to readers. We should applaud any mechanism which can monetize our support.

                                    For clarity's sake: If a journalism organization finds itself taking an oppositional combative stance against readers it has failed.
