hello people i have this idea of building a website where people watch advert in exchange for proxy what do you people think about this

Great idea, I love watching ads in exchange for more ads. Youtube kinda works like that nowadays

If your ad RPM outpaces your per proxy cost why not?
But I doubt it'll be feasible.
Unless you're gonna recycle proxies which will make them useless in the long term with blacklists and stuff.

real mobile proxies cost time and money to buy good equipment, software and maintenance . good is not cheap and cheap is not good.

I think the cost of proxy maintenance will hardly be covered by the ads.

Don't be so sure about that, mate. If he knows how to deploy openvpn proxy instances and to mask the datacenter noise, he will be doing very fine, if he can do that, the ads will be profitable.

free proxy for ads by itself doesn’t work anymore — users abuse it, block ads, and your costs explode. It only makes sense if the free proxy is heavily limited and used as a funnel to paid proxy services or tools. Otherwise you’ll burn IPs and money fast.

I'll be dead honest, it's a waste of money and proxies.
Also the proxy prices at the moment are super low so I don't really see a reason.
