To play devil's advocate, what about selling that device? What if it's integrated into an existing smartglasses platform?
What if you only block your competator's ads?
What if you replace them with your own? (..does Brave do this?)
What if you block all ads (yours, and your competitors), but in so doing, exploit the inertia of a consumer who is a.) already using your product, and b.) actively sheltered from exposure to the market?
Are trying to make a point? Because none of any of this is any worse than ads in the first place? Why would it be ok to influence customers using ads but not by blocking ads?
I'm gunna plug AdNauseam. I like it better than uBO or the ilk, because it clicks every ad it blocks. It completely breaks marketing platforms for me, i never get relevant ads when i do see them. According to marketer data, i want to see ads for everything. It also makes some websearch hilarious - i search for "microwave frequency QAM" and it's all ads for kenmore and GE countertop cookers. I avoid search engines that give crap data, because they're trying to get me to buy stuff, i just want search results, thanks.
It also keeps a handy "cost to advertisers" metric you can view. I'm over $40,000 at this point.
