Do Ads work anyway? The advertising / marketing industry cesspit is becoming ever more sleazy and invasive with predictive fingerprinting techniques for micro-targeting, based on browser / device / session metadata (especially server-side, where it can’t be blocked versus client-side 3rd-Party cookies which are going away anyway). There’s strong evidence that none of it works anyway, and its just being exploited by fraudsters!

If they don’t work, then people whom are thrifty won’t keep buying them. I don’t think anyone wants to be tracked. No need for all that. All I’m saying is that as a creator, if I spend a ton of time on something, especially something that could be useful to other people, it would be nice to be able to buy an Ad, typically in the category it is in, to get possibly more eyes on it. Imagine a section at the top or bottom of every category that creators could buy. Maybe it only has space to show 4 ads, but you randomize it if there is more than 4. I’m both a creators and a developer. There are lots of great tools and things that people have made. How do I find them? How do I know what is good? Well, if some spends the time and money to make an ads, then they are probably serious about their work, or passionate about their products or whatever. I know as a creator. And, it is very likely that Epic will make far more money selling ads than they ever will on the commission rate. I know on the platforms I have sold on that have good advertising options, I spend way more on those than they charge me in commission. So, in the end, Epic could choose to not charge any commission rate, because they make more than enough on the ads.
