Forbes Ad Free Experience in the News
A rundown of a few memorable tweets and press coverage from our Forbes Ad Free Experience Launch
A few weeks ago we launched a new feature together with Forbes – an Ad Free Experience. Readers can now remove all ads on Forbes by purchasing a key for 0.0052 ETH a day (there's also a monthly option).
Not only were we happy but the internet rejoiced! Many felt that the ad free feature was a great use case for the blockchain. We collected a couple of tweets and press on what people had to say.
A big step for crypto today:

A wonderful crypto use case:

It is well known that @Forbes has the worst ad situation in online publishing, bordering on unreadable.
Now, if you go to their @ForbesCrypto section and pay a small amount of ETH using @UnlockProtocol, it eliminates ads on the *entire* site.

This is one of those small step, giant leap moments - @UnlockProtocol has been hard at work on creating the future of composable memberships and it's great to see @Forbes take this step towards fixing the ad-driven economies! So stoked for this!! https://t.co/oLPppWBBPd
