Ask HN: If not ads, then how are websites supposed to monetize?

justforreading — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 12:06:06 +0000

We all hate ads, especially the ones that keep jumping at us while we are trying to read an article about Iron Man. The worst part: they are not even related to the article or the entire theme of the website. To counter this, we install ad blockers. Peace.

But the idea that I am probably not allowing the little money that the blog/website owner can make from those ads after putting in effort to write a good, well-researched and quality article feels bad. I disabled ads not because of that intention, I want them to make the money they can. I am not able to prevent any other tech giants from misusing my data anyway.

What is a resolution to this? I know many blogs have a donate option, but not everyone can donate. Not every website/blog can get a sponsorship. And ads are annoying, to the extent that a user might not visit again. Thus, the question: If not ads, then how are websites supposed to monetize?

Ask HN: How do you start researching for a project idea?

How do you start researching for an idea you have? How do you look for if it is even worth the effort, what innovation can be made if a similar app exists?

If you completely don't have an idea, but want to work on one, how do you look for ideas? Do you have a process that works for you, or some resources that help you generate ideas?
