Earn while you browse, Next channel for reaching real users

September 11, 2026 Get paid for the attention.

We launched yesterday on PH. And we need some support.

Key idea of the product: if advertisers pay for our attention, users should get a share of that value.

We have a browser extension that shows a small ad strip while you browse. Advertisers pay for impressions, and users get a part of the revenue.

We already do the same idea for AI tools. While devs spend a few seconds waiting for AI responses, they can get a couple of bucks for paying monthly AI subscriptions.

So we call it a fairer advertising model.

We asked too late our community to support. And all the newer accounts without any history are getting limited visibility, so we’d really appreciate support and honest feedback.

If you find the idea interesting, please check it out and tell us what you think

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION

July 24, 2026 I thought I had accidentally paid someone $100 for one hour of browsing

I was sitting there watching the balance calculations in our product when I noticed the numbers going up way faster than expected.

For a few seconds, I genuinely thought:

“Wait… did I just accidentally make someone $100 in one hour?” 😭

Then I remembered I was testing locally with a really big multiplier.

Btw we’re building Tributly - a browser extension that adds a small sponsor panel to your browsing experience. Advertisers pay for the attention, and users get a share of the verified ad revenue.

The idea is to let people earn a little passively while browsing normally.

We’re still early, so I’d genuinely love some honest feedback.

    Love the idea of turning attention into something users can own.

    Curious about your go-to-market strategy though — are you focusing on a specific user group first (students, creators, etc.), or trying to build a broad consumer product from day one?

  2. 1

    The product depends on people seeing enough value in passive earnings to install and keep using the extension.

    Was there a moment that convinced you people would adopt it because they wanted to earn, rather than simply because they were curious to try it once?

We believe attention should be rewarded. The internet is full of intrusive, annoying ads that interrupt your browsing experience, while platforms and advertisers profit from your attention.
