i don’t defend targeted ads since they are bad (i use uBlock)
but what monetization system is a bit more ethical than targeted ads but can last unlike donations
how would you solve that issue
My Opinion
well it is make that there are version which you own but if you pay for 1 the one after it you pay again for that new version but with a small discount
Image if the browser would automatically temporarily save what topics the current page was about and then only send that list to the advertisers to retrieve an image.
Almost like the Topics API Google proposed.
Or we generate a small enough tag that represents those topics to a cohort almost like Googles FLoC proposal.
