Lets see if Basic-Attention-Token works
2 comments

It won't. Most people don't want their attention monetized.
Most people don't know that it already is and has been for a very long time.
And as they get wise, they increasingly install ad blockers. That's going to the moon at the moment. Tools like Ad Nausium are the next logical step.
How will they tackle abuse (hackers running bots and "mining attention")?
