Does these services pay similar to Google Adsense?
I'm only familiar with AdThrive and MediaVine, and certainly it depends on the niche, but most folks make significantly more. I know someone who jumped 5x when they switched. Just a heads up though, the requirements are higher: AdThrive requires 100,000 monthly views and MediaVine requires 25,000 sessions.
If you know what your readers would buy, you can sign up for affiliate programs that they might be interested in and basically serve rotating ads yourself. It's definitely a lot more work, and becomes more worth it the bigger and more targeted your audience is.
Tried affiliate marketing with no luck in the past. Don't know if it's easy now a days to sell products easily?

CodeFund is also open source and seems committed to desirable principles, like not doing any user tracking through cookies.
In a feedback survey, I said that I hope they can one day expand beyond programming websites and become a general alternative to AdSense.

* It's time consuming for the seller and buyer.
* You need to give the buyer reliable statistics. Page-Views, Click-Trough rate, demographics and what not, before and after you sell the ad spot.
* You need to define the price, which is not that simple.
* You need to provide the technical means to manage and display the ads.
* You need to prevent abuse.
* You need a contract for each buyer.
* The buyer needs to trust you.
* You need to trust the buyer.
I think that ship has long sailed. It would be tremendously cool, if there was some kind of self-hostable ad software, which takes care of the technical details and would act as middle man, connecting buyers and sellers. Some kind of open marketplace based on open software. But I doubt, this will ever happen. Would be a cool thing to disrupt the current industry though.
facebook, yandex, instagram, snapchat, bing, aol, yahoo. not centralised, but there are still some traffic.
