I appreciate this, and I understand the comparison to wavlake and fountain. I am listening to ep 105 today, seemed to be a good starting point, but I may rewind a little. I wish you and Ian the best with implementing your big ideas. That takes courage, and clearly you have plenty.
There have been lots of "watch stupid ads, win stupid prizes" attempts over the years. I had a stuffed monkey from "punch the monkey" for a lot of years. Lately these have been really scammy, advertizing gift cards for redemption or even bitcoin payouts that just never quite happen. Clearly these companies are siphoning off ad revenue and passing on little, if any, rewards to users. I think your attention marketplace, if transparent enough, could overcome some of that bad juju.
I still have many reservations over whether there is a market for what you are proposing, on either the ad side or the user side. I suppose we will find out!
