| Study Q200027. Free vs Paid |
|
Question -
Imagine... No advertising, no pop ups, nobody trying to sell you something every time you get on-line. Great! But there's a trade-off. You will have to pay a small fee, to keep the 'internet' alive. We all know that advertising revenue is what keeps most web sites alive, and probably the Internet as a whole.
So, given the choice...

Paid Internet. Yes, I wouldn't mind paying about $10 per month, provided I never see another unwanted advertisment or pop up or junk-email, ever again! |

| 4021443 | advertising is important | David | Portugal | M | 23 | | 4020882 | That this fee would come in my monthly internet bill | Maria de jesus | Colombia | F | 26 | | 4021920 | sometimes I feel no pops | sampath kumar.s | India | M | 45 | | 4020966 | Dont waste money unnecessarily | Winona | China | F | 27 | | 4020908 | Advertising is easy enough to ignore if you don't want to look at it depending on how the website is constructed. | Arne | Canada | M | 62 | | 4021400 | But we are already "paying" for the infrastructure, so virtually we also need to pay for use? | JJ | Singapore | M | 33 | | 4021054 | An advertisement free internet is pretty unrealistic but one can dream! | Samantha | Ireland | F | 33 | | 4021305 | You need an advertising cause sometimes it can help your life when you need something and they have an answer. | Shane | Indonesia | F | 32 | | 4020982 | Paghiamo già per avere il collegamento ad internet. | monica | Italy | F | 53 | | 4021339 | It's a good question! I prefer to see advertising on the site than having to pay a fixed amount! there are many sites that I visit and in some I even buy! I already paid for my internet. My access is not free! since my access at home to the street are paid, so I don't see the logic of paying a fixed amount more to access a website without advertising !!! | Marlon | Brazil | M | 40 | | 4020912 | Allowing doing the business in normal way is better for all | umapathy | India | M | 48 | | 4021786 | free internet for the world!! | Javier | Chile | M | 42 | | 4021918 | We already pay for data or ethernet, etc. | James | United States | M | 63 | | 4021385 | No advertising won't make you aware of products you don't know about. | Bruce | South Africa | M | 65 | | 4021450 | all good, thanx!! | kim | Canada | F | 67 | | 4021115 | I don't mind actual advertising. That is not what we get now, though. We get spyware that tracks our every move and lets evil third parties like Google and Facebook make money off of us even if we are not there. | Jeff | United States | M | 62 |
