It has amazed me that such badly designed programs as
Facebook and YouTube
were able to succeed at all.
I had heard stories that YouTube was not a money maker for Google.
After all, they have made it miserably hard to watch any video
with the intermittent ads popping up all over at any time
some ads running up to half an hour ?
I solved their dilemma, I thought.
Charge for having a channel.
Require channel owners to RATE their own channel and/or video
and block anything that was not properly RATED
just like going to the movies and checking those ratings.
Channels can pick the ads they want showing on the page
or do their own business as a platform for ads.
I remember reading a message board - long ago -
having to do with websites unable to collect for their ads
and businesses who were shocked at the cost of their own ads
which had not drawn any business to cover that cost.
Everybody going bankrupt on that PER HIT model of marketing
based on the google-ads model
and using THIRD PARTY COOKIES
(the real money maker in this little threesome)
As I abhor THIRD PARTY ADS
and thus all google ads
and all websites that pack their horrid pages full of them
wasting everyone's time as they
-
search your computer for your private interests
-
load badly designed graphics all in a row
If there WERE other choices, I'd sure as hell go there.
YouTube was designed better than Facebook, however.
Facebook was really a game, you see.
You had to know which magical key to set
to view your friends' posts
otherwise you were lost in a jungle of advertisements
so many ads that you couldn't dig out of them.
Uh-oh, need to right click on it, go to their page and set settings.
Whoever can do it fastest WINS.
I'm hoping THIRD PARTY COOKIES can be part of the lawsuit.
Every google ad violates my desire to have my internet actions remain private.
If I don't like it, I guess I shouldn't go on the internet.
I wish everyone will use the old style newspaper model ads.
Sell spots on your websites per month.
Better for everyone.
Business can set their budgets both ways, as a host or as an advertiser.
You can accept the ads you want to promote
and bypass the ads you do NOT want to promote
