I first saw Blendle from one of the HN "Who's hiring" threads while looking for jobs in Utrecht. It was right around the time that there were a ton of stories about intrusive/tracking ad networks, AdBlockers and Google's Contributor option came out.

It looked like you were one of the few out there actually building something that solves the "paying content creators for their work" problem that is the root of all the ad problems. Kudos to you. It would be cool if you combined your service with an ad blocker so that users could block ads and feel good about still giving the creators a way to get paid: join the network!
