I was searching on twitter the keywords"I wish there was" to find what people are in need for nowadays and unsurprisingly most people on social media and internet are frustrated with ads. But wait not all ads. The ads which are obnoxious, ads of stuff they already have, autoplay ads etc.
Before reading the next line I would recommend reading this article
Assuming you read that article. I would like to introduce a concept of ad filters as mentioned in the article but in light of what I think how they would work.
Ad blockers have been around and most of them being either illegal, losing billions for MNCs, blocking ads of desirable products altogether. Ad filters as I think would in turn save billions for companies, help users to customize their ad preferences and conclusively help both the customer and the company. Coming back to how it would work.
A website/app where you can chose what type of ads places do you prefer and what type of ads you find frustrating - headers, pop ups, footers etc. Based on these preferences your ad places on websites would be set up. If you already have a product of a company and don't want it's ads then in that case the company would also not like to show you that ad and save some money on those wasted ads. So you could enter the product you have on the website and avoid it's ads for a duration. These are basically just a pinch of some comforts for both the companies and customers they want in the advertising game surely there are more options that would and should be available on the filter.
All ears to hear about opinions on such an ad filter and how many of you would like to actually use it.
