that is, do they use your broadband? And it depends on the country they pay you more or less?
Here is a small breakdown how ARC works:
The widget has an opt-out only function, meaning, by default all the users are opt-in (like all advertising networks).
Here comes the tricky part: ARC pays for USER bandwidth (NOT related to countries or TIERS), so, IF a% of your users has stable Ethernet connection, you will get paid more. Said that, ARC wont pay you for your users using MOBILE devices using 3G / 4G / 5G, but ONLY for users connected to WIFI.
An other factor is the time on site, the more your users stays on YOUR website, the more you earn.
They use YOUR users bandwidth as p2p cdn to sell to other companies, so basically, you're "milking" your users connection to gain some earnings without showing them visual ads. the user has the option to deny (opt-out) if he does not want to partecipate and share his connection.
To recap: You need DESTOP users (the more the better) to stay 5min + on your site to earn, country does not matter.
bye!
