Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) on why internet ads aren’t going anywhere: “If you really want to get to a billion and then five billion people, you can’t do that with a paid offering… you need an indirect business model. Ads are the obvious one.” “If you take a principle stand against ads, you’re also taking a stand against broad access; global per-capita GDP just isn’t high enough.” “A well-targeted ad at a specifically relevant point in time is actually content; it enhances the experience.”
