Kind Ads: The Next Generation of Online Advertising
The internet has undoubtedly changed the way humans access and interact with information. Similar to the Gutenberg revolution, the internet has expanded the reach of humankind, allowing anyone to express their views and share their knowledge, while also making it possible for anyone in the world to have access to information, education and entertainment.
Not only are online influencers being able to kickstart their careers and reach millions of people, they are also getting paid to do so. The online advertising industry is one of the most important sectors of the internet industry and it’s basically what keeps the lights on for most online businesses. However, it is also, one of the most flawed parts of the internet ecosystem.
Website owners, bloggers, and other types of influencers and publishers are often forced to deal with ad networks when monetizing their content. These ad networks will often take most of the revenue, place irrelevant ads on the websites, and become intrusive overtime, diminishing the overall user experience and reach of the website.
KIND ADS: Bye bye to irritating and annoying ads
INTRODUCTION
There is nothing galling and annoying than you watching your favourite video on YouTube or reading an interesting article and some irrelevant ads just popped up your way. Sometimes, you just want to relax and watch or read an article without touching your mouse or press the escape key on your keyboard to close these uninvited ads on your monitor. But yet, they still will not go. You absolutely have no control over them especially with giant networks like Google and Facebook. You actually desire you can take them off and perhaps put them in a place; somewhere you can actually get back to them if need be.
THE KIND ADS GOOD NEWS
No more worries, I will introduce you to a KIND of ads manager that you help eradicate those unwanted ads on your way as you explore the internet.
What is Kind ads?
Kind Ads is a decentralized advertising platform that manages ads between users, publishers and advertisers in blockchains networks. It a platform aimed at changing the methods in which publishers and advertisers benefits in a more mutual manner. On its protocol, users will be able to manage what ads they would encounter and only the ads users are interested on are made available to them. In other words, it is a type of advertising that is permission based. That is, users determine what ads they are to receive. This Kind ads is based on the ethereum network because of it flexibility and robustness blockchain platform.
THE PROBLEM
The Users’ problem:
Just in our introduction section, there is nothing as irritating as having an unwanted ad popped up your way while you surf the web. It is something we do not have much control over since these ads are placed on the site we visit by owners of such sites (publishers). Sometimes, we wish to quit some certain jobs or sites due to the many of ads piled up to be popped up which are very annoying most times. Also, users’ information is illegally taken by websites without the legal permission of such users or regards for users privacy.
The advertisers’ problem:
Companies or organizations that are ready in putting up ads, pay high fees for adverts of their products that might not even be visited by the end users. I would confess that I barely visit or purchase an item using ads. So companies that own such products would be running at lost if users like me crowd the internet without visiting their products via their ads. Also, the advertising company goes through a third-party (publisher) service that in turn charges a fee to put up the advertisements on their platform. The advertising party (company) on the other hand does not have easy access to publishers that can reach their audiences. They also have little or no control as the type of audience their ads are being accessible to.
The Publisher’s problem:
Publishers also have issue with their advertising agency (those who have the ad-space). These agencies controls the ad-space allocated to publishers. For example, the famous Linda Ikeji’s blog in Nigeria has to request ad-space from BlogSpot and wordpress before she can add some ads on her blog.
Problem of the Giants corporations:
Another problem arises when Corporations such as Alphabet (Google) and Facebook controls a large portion of the ads market. This means they can fix price and set conditions that benefit them the most rather than all parties involved.
This leads to a marketplace which is unbalanced and takes advantage of publishers as well as users since there is no much competition.
Without alternatives, these corporations can continue to charge a large commission, while retaining control over the distribution of ads since there are no many corporations like them to challenge in the ads market.

How would Decentralization of advertising products on Blockchain networks help combat giants corporation from a kind of monopolized advertising that is channeled only to their interest?
Giants Corporation like Facebook and Google as we have discussed determine prices of placing ads in their platform. This will, to a high extent, benefits their sole interest. They have control of all price fixed on advertising on their platform without the consent of those patronizing them. This will in turn render price for advertising on their platform very expensive to advertisers and also bombard users with ads not relevant to them since they do not have idea of audiences they are to advertise to.
Decentralization of advertising products on blockchains networks will help fight these giants corporation by creating a form of a competitive environment in the market as publishers and advertisers as well as users will patronized platforms that has such attributes as the Kind ads possesses. These attributes or development include the push notification and emails. Since these methods are not to crowd the audience with irrelevant ads, users will gradually shift from these giants networks to the Kind ads ecosystem.
Kind Ads (KIND) Tokens Benefits to users and publishers
The Kind Ads economy will run on KIND tokens. This means advertisers will only pay with KIND token for advertising on the Kind ads platform.
