No, that is not part of a pitch to VC. It is my name for content services that have ads for services including a premium version that you pay for directly and which do not have any of those “annoying” ads (of course they do not use the word annoying).

The Internet needs a sustainable ad model that users/consumers also find to be useful not annoying.

Financial results will be positively impacted in the short term by Annoyance As A Service, but this leads to a spiral of doom. The annoying ads become more frequent, leading to a short term financial boost but also to users/consumers leaving the service which leads to the annoying ads become more frequent which leads to…

Have you noticed this in any services you use or work on?
