You can look up quite easily what a click through on google costs a company.surrey_commuter said:

As I block any advertisers, it's also virtually ad free.
And as the advertisers leave, because people block ads, and they don't want to appear alongside Nazi sympathisers, the revenue drops even more. I think at last count it was down 80%.
I continue to be amazed at what Google gives me for "free" and suspect that if it was not an ad model they would be charging circa $10 a month.
What monthly subscription would you Adblockers pay for an ad free version of something like Twitter?
I read sometihng about Next paying 0.3p per click or something and so when they bought made.com just the traffic that website generated was worth more to next than what they paid for it.0 -

Probably $0 for Twitter. The world would carry on without it.
I probably would pay for Google, as I use them quite extensively (Sheets, Docs, Photos, Maps, GMail), but they seem to be surviving quite nicely without my $s.0 -
An aspiring author posted that she'd had a bad experience at a book signing, and got encouraging replies back from some people that she would not have expected to have interacted with. It's just low key nice.surrey_commuter said:

What would be nice is if they bought every copy of her book available so she can afford to carry on writing. Or fund some public libraries out of their millions.
You know, tangible stuff..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

you took it on the chin and laughed with the bar man and drank a beer. I didn't expect Pete Tong to give me a hug.

I've got a feeling that Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood bringing her to people's attention might help a bit with sales as a side benefit. Maybe Henry Winkler is a little bit less relevant but will still help.0 -

Twitter is pretty unusable though if you are not logged in. I was interested to see what Atwood had written, but not interested enough to sign up for a twitter account.0

Just for a giggle I reported the tweet, just to see if I'd get kicked off. He must know that Fauci is now going to receive death threats from MAGA/Qanon cultists though, so maybe not a giggle.0 -
