Re: No marketing? You'll pay more for probably everything. said by andyb:Not to be rude but what the hell are you trying to say?It's hard to make it out without some clear language. He is trying to say that without ads most of the FREE web sites would dry up and blow away. And when ads are opt-in, very very few will accept them. End result - opt-in if made a regulated mandate for the whole internet could result in a web where you pay a la carte for all the web sites you want.

1 edit | Perhaps I'm misreading the article.
The only thing they're talking about being Opt-In are the browse history snooping behavioral advertising being opt in.
Meaning you have to opt in to having your browsing history turned over to the likes of Nebu-Ad and used to serve particular ads based on that history. Regular banner and/or pop-up ads aren't affected. |

But I think the earlier poster was making a point that making ads, in general, opt-in would be a disaster for the free web we all now know.

Laguna Hills, CA | I'd say yeah (opt in only) for email, fax, telephone and other marketing that costs the END USER time and money to receive, but banner ads are little more than commercials and totally justified.
The 1st amendment should end when it starts to cost ME money. |
