Hitting 2M users in half a year since launch just proves that end users are understanding their value in the Ad ecosystem. Their attention is worth more than just getting to use a free product. They deserve a slice of the revenue, as do the creators and publishers. Check out our FAQ to understand why this works fairly for all. #faq" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pie.org/about#faq

Update: Pie just hit 2M users after crossing 1M only 3.5 months ago. Just getting started. 🚀

@GBousis 🙌🙌

I am excited to finally share what our team has been tirelessly building over the last couple of years. The time is now—as we push to make RWAs a reality in crypto and create real solutions for real industries. Too often, blockchain projects have been looking for problems to solve. We’ve taken the opposite approach—solving a trillion-dollar problem that already exists. Raise has secured $63M to build the next-generation payment rails for the multi-trillion-dollar gift card industry—an industry with over a billion participants but outdated infrastructure, no standardization, and compounding inefficiencies. Why Raise? 🚀 We’re creating SmartCards—secure, fully programmable, blockchain-backed gift cards that work better for retailers and consumers. Our goal is to eliminate fraud, increase transparency, and make gift cards actually useful beyond single transactions. The Retail Alliance Foundation (our nonprofit organization) ensures that brands (not middlemen) shape the future of gift cards, loyalty, and payments. Raise has already invested $25M into this technology—with a $100M+ in the future commitment to make this a reality. As I told Fortune: “It’s really betting the house on what we think is the future, and we think the time is now.” The market has been waiting for simple, elegant solutions that bring blockchains to real-world applications. That’s exactly what we’re building. This is just the beginning. Everyone deserves a Raise. I want to thank our partners and friends, both new and old, who have stuck by us and kept the faith. There are too many to add to one thread, but here are a few: @NEA @Accel @PayPal @HaunVentures @Web3foundation @ambergroup_io @anagramxyz @borderless_cap @GSR_io @Karatage_ @Papervc @PharsalusCap @SeliniCapital @tekinsalimi @rajgokal @jeffcantalupo @JasonPritz and more. Most importantly, thank you to my team, who have spent every day working tirelessly to solve this problem and have dedicated their time and brainpower to making this a reality - we wouldn't be here without you all.

It's really cool that Tom Brady got to be there for the Eagles' two Super Bowl wins! He might be a good luck charm. Have a great night!

Pie is helping creators, publishers, and end users better utilize the economy of the internet. blog.pie.org

Congrats @teal_hq team @davidfano

Some background on what @piedotorg is doing, and not doing. The internet should be rewarding users and creators for their time, so we're here to help. pie.org/about

Honey took 3.5 years to hit 1M users. Pie (ex-Honey) just did it in 3.5 months.

Reaching 1M users at this pace has been helping inform the direction we’re taking with redistributing the economics of the internet. People’s attention is worth more than a free tool, it’s worth compensation. pie.org

As we're rapidly approaching 1M users in just over 2 months since launch, it's clear that the general public isn't content with the way their attention is being monetized without their involvement. Pie is changing that by helping people reclaim their hard earned cash.@piedotorg

Between our Shopping and AdBlock extensions, @piedotorg is helping more than half a million people realize the internet’s economic engine should benefit the consumer. Our goal is to level the playing field in the ad industry and reward users for their attention.

Doubling our user base week over week is the right signal for making a more economically fair internet.  Free products have become unbalanced in what they’re gaining on your attention. @piedotorg we’re giving users uninterrupted content, or rewarding you for ads you opt into.

Here's why the state of internet advertising is broken: 1) Ad overload—Consumers are constantly bombarded with ads and tracked, losing control of their experience. 2) Advertisers stuck—Big brands waste money as ad platforms drain profits without delivering results. 3) Publishers squeezed—Platforms dominate, leaving publishers with fewer ways to make money. 4) Ad blocking surge—Nearly a billion users are blocking ads, showing the system isn’t working. 5) Broken incentives—The current model fails to balance user, advertiser, and publisher needs. It's time for a new approach to online ads!

Block ads, get paid @piedotorg

UPDATE: I've started something new (pie.org) with 20 of my favorite people. We are on a mission to rebuild the internet with people in control. This starts with rebooting the economic engine that powers the internet. Today the largest tech companies make over $100 billion dollars every year auctioning off your attention to the highest bidder. You pay for this in more ways than you think — an internet littered with annoying ads, your data sold to spy on you for ad targeting, and prices are inflated due to excessive advertising costs. Now imagine an internet where you aren't just a product to be harvested, but a valued creator and owner. Where the tech companies you use every day are aligned with your best interest and reward you for your contributions. That's the vision behind The People's Internet Experiment (pie.org). We started by creating a free adblocker that gives you control of your internet experience. We added the option to enable Rewards for Ads. Now you can get paid a fair share to opt back into ads on your terms. To make your shopping experience better, we built the fastest coupon tools for thousands of your favorite stores. Then we added a cash back program that your adblocker doesn't break, so you actually get your rewards. This is just the start. I've assembled a team of some of the most creative people that built @honey to invent new ways to share more of the advertising pie with you. I hope you'll join us and let us know what you think!

Check out what we’ve got going on at Pie.org. We’re helping rebuild the economic engine of the Internet so that users can participate in the $100 billion ad industry.

Planning to homeschool our children, have you pulled your kids out of public school or decided to homeschool from scratch? If so, why? Curious what motivates each person to make this choice.
