How is Pie Adblock different from other ad blockers like uBlock Origin or Adblock Plus?
- User Rewards & “Fair Ads”: Unlike traditional ad blockers that simply block everything, Pie provides an option to get paid for seeing a limited number of ads. This is a user-centered revenue-sharing approach rather than a “pay-to-play” arrangement (like traditional “Acceptable Ads” models) that profits only the ad blocker.
- Support for Creators & Publishers: Pie encourages users to allowlist ads on websites and creator channels they want to support. It also preserves affiliate links, ensuring creators and publishers still earn commissions. Many other ad blockers block affiliate links by default, which can hurt content creators.
- No Replacement Ads: Some blockers or aggregator tools swap out ads with their own to profit. Pie does not replace publisher ads for its own gain. It focuses on entirely new ad experiences (e.g., Instant Rewards) that don’t undermine the original content’s revenue streams.
