Well executed, clever idea that improves your browsing experience significantly. Already love it 30 min in. You can see @jason passions all the way back to mahalo with human curation and high quality content.
Two ideas:
Would be cool if it could tune into topics I tend to click on in tl;dr or inside (so quality keeps going up)
Would be cool to tune content to site I'm on (ESPN/sports, cnn/news, etc) or even by topic (so it's defacto 'more' )
@brendanbeirne thanks for that... we've been using it for a week and we were like "ohhhh...... this makes the web awesome!"
I think AdReplacer will have more users in a week than inside.com got after a year
When Apple allowed ad blocking, many journalist and publishers compared it to stealing. I wouldn't go that far for the personal user, but as a business with the intent of generating profit, this doesn't feel right. A little too steal-y. It is essentially replacing other's ads with TLDR's.
@jfals82 actually, we are replacing other people's ads with.... their own content! so, the consumer (not us!) takes taboola or outbrain off of Business Insider and replaces it with quality content -- which includes Business Insider!
@jason@jfals82 Sponsored content that passes a human curation - not spammy but actually interesting and something people might want to read. What Outbrain wants to be but isn't (as far as I can tell).

Aside from being a great product, are plans for monetizing?
@jroache1 if we build good will and get 1m folks to install it, we can ask for donations to make it better.... so, step one: let's get the first 1,000 people to use the product and see if they tell their friends. If we do, we can just popup a note every 100 days and say "hey, if you appreciate this product please send us $1 or $5 or $10 to keep improving it.

@jason@jroache1 awesome. Wikipedia style. I'm on my phone right now but will install and play with it tomorrow
One more idea for thought: index the site the the product is running on and use it for on-site engagement to showcase relevant articles within the brand itself (a lot of plugins that try to do this are inadequate, and taboola and outbrain don't do this or don't do it well). If you could couple on-site articles that are highly relevant with 3rd party curated and topical articles you'd have a double win and give people content that is highly relevant to what they are looking for while not diluting the brand (and in fact making it more awesome).
