If your phrasing were where this is going I'd have no issues with it, but I think (if this is successful) it's going to be much worse:
"The idea is to create experiences that ... are targeted and clickable enough for brands to actually make money and potentially avoid using a paywall altogether."
The most likely use case is to make pop-over ads 100x more annoying, not to complement a paywall. I would hope user revolts would kill this, but I'm not optimistic...
Not everything is a conspiracy theory. As a start-up we wanted to solve only one problem: giving users alternative for paying for the quality content. Where this leads us we'll see. As a species we already made a mistake thousand years ago when starting to mass produce the food. But today we're here and it's not that bad.
