This seems to be a very promising approach to get content authors payed without ads. I read your white paper earlier at https://thank-u.org/download/thank-u-white-paper.pdf but wasn't aware that thank-u is already live. It's really time to let the money flow the way it makes sense!
Thanks leromi! I was trying to solve my personal problem here, as usual: my favorite site once asked me to whitelist them in ad blocker. I did so as I wish them to be there tomorrow. After struggling for a few days, I couldn't help reverting the change, feeling guilty. But thank-u works perfectly for me to fix it. I wonder if it will be accepted to solve torrent problems and copyright in general.
Thank-u for tackling the problem! Same here every once in a while and started looking for solutions. I recognized that others also used blockchain to target similar problems. Do you have any information how thank-u compares to Flattr+, Blendle or others?
In short, we are not profit oriented and can implement the true 0% commission. Others, like the ones you mentioned, suggest improving the current model, replacing intermediaries with a cheaper one. I believe, it is not radical enough to be generally accepted. The platform should be decentralized, owned by the community.
