"The disruption is going to come when we start to charge for our attention. Someone will have to pay me to watch their ad, to read their email. People will be paid different amounts, depending on their influence, their connections, their spending. That is where it is going and that takes out the advertising industry as it exists today. There will still be ads; in fact, I think most of those ads are going to be generated by consumers themselves, by the customers."

What is the use case for this? It seems like this would just ensure that you never receive an email from whoever was trying to reach you.
  1. Most of the time you give your email as part of an automated signup process - so no one on the other end would ever see the email from Reacher.
  2. If it's someone you know you would probably connect to them over Telegram, Twitter or Discord, etc. and not email (and if it's someone you know you wouldn't need to filter them to begin with if you did give them your email)
  3. Any normie who actually did receive and read an email back from Reacher would look at it for 2 seconds and say "WTF is this?" and move on with their day.
This service seems pointless to me 🤷‍♂️
This seems really useful but I don’t understand why authentication via Strike is necessary.
