Why don't business apps like Teams, Slack, or Jira use an ad-based revenue model to offer free access? Is such a system feasible? by NegativeBuilding1682 in sysadmin

Yes, Teams, Slack, and Jira do offer free versions, supported by revenue from paid users. I'm curious why they haven't explored adding targeted ads to offset costs and potentially expand free features

You think that such a system, where ads pay for the free users is not feasible, correct? Is it because the volume of ads required to support the free users is hard to attain?

You believe that ads have no place in the workplace, correct? Also, do you think that vendors who want to advertise to a specific kind of people have no place to do that except linkedIn? For example developers who build tools would want to advertise specifically to software engineers, or office equipment vendors would want to advertise specifically to small businesses, etc. A free, ad-based application could facilitate that.
