How Pie's 'Block Ads, Get Paid' Model Is Giving Users Control of Ads & Privacy | E2012

[@wolfpack5755]

ive had pie for about 2 months and have gone through many ads and i haven't had it trigger at all i still only have the 50 pts for getting the extension. I have turned it on and off and i have tried almost every combination of allowances. So how does the point build? Im happy i found this video so i can ask directly because I would love to know why this doesn't work.

Can someone explain how this model works

[@marcelalbrecht6521]

I don’t understand it either. Makes no sense. I even went back to the part where he explained it but don’t understand the use case here. I mean…I understand what he’s saying, but the business model doesn’t work. Also it’s weird because the landing page says “Block ads, get paid”, but that’s not what’s happening. From my understanding you get paid when you opt back in to seeing ads, not when blocking them. Otherwise where would the money come from. But like I said before, the business model doesn’t make sense and I don’t care to type out why here

@@marcelalbrecht6521 most likely their getting payed tons and its just giving you little bits of money I mean their is digital realastate that makes money so its defiintly a thing but it could take months I had saw this before but it was for using youtube this is just another start up of a idea that is like free cash their making lots more money than they give you but yes you can make money by just running their program and letting them run these adds they want you to see and you get paid to see those adds that sometimes come up.

@@marcelalbrecht6521 They're probably like, "we block your ads so pay us and we can allow them to be optable". Then they get paid 10c per add and then give the users 1 cent. So its like either pay us or your ads will never be seen.

i'm still confused

[@BSw33tTV]

If you're confused than I would consider this a fluff video to be a fake way of getting people hooked into an extension that invades your personal information.

[@dfunited1]

It's super simple. They sell your keystrokes. Every button you push, every click you make, everything you ever consume, they sell it. You are the product.

[@BSw33tTV]

Did I miss where He explains how much money you can make by allowing the view of Ads? I don't see anywhere the cost/pay structure for obtaining payment while using Pie. I'm no into crypto/Gift cards. I want real money deposited in my account. How does it really work? This seems like a fluff ad. TBH IF these companies know we don't want to see ads anymore and it's intrusive. Just get rid of the ads on the internet. It is ridiculous to create a company in which you "manage" your ADS to which NO ONE actually wants to see on the internet lmfao. There is NO net benefit to supporting faking income generation.

getting rewards is not getting paid?

I got massed added this extension, I feel like this is a scammy gimmick.

thats cool !!

This is a grift. And you know it. An 'approved ad-blocker' that spends countless $ on ads is a grift. The company can't possibly turn a profit. They WILL sell all your data to brokers. They WILL steal your passwords. They WILL make you sign "updated privacy policy"s while they do it.
