With even the FBI recommending adblockers maybe ads aren't the thing we should prop up our economy with. They don't work, people hate them, and now even passively ignoring them isn't an option. But I don't know if the world can operate on the Patreon model.
It’s the folly of humanity, to believe the problem will always be the next generation’s problem. Selfish desire first, concern second.
They don't work? How naive.
On a bigger scale, I think it's all wasted money. Maybe its the autism, but the more I see a company name, any company name, the less I want it in my house.
The data is very clear... Ads work. They absolutely shouldn't almost ever, but they do. With the cornucopia of analytics available, companies have long been able to see if their ads work, and if they didn't, they would've stopped long ago. Hell even before the Internet they had ways to prove ads work.
Then stop beating the "it's all hopeless" drum. You're certainly not going to change my mind.
Uh I didn't...
Ads work. It's a fact. Just because it's a sad fact doesn't mean I want you to be sad.
if you think it doesn't work on you, it's more likely to work on you. if it didn't work the world would be a much better place, but unfortunately they definitely work.
but i agree it's stupid especially as a business model and it shouldn't exist.
You sound like an ad for advertising.
yeah ads famously criticize the product and talk about how dangerous it is
You gargle their balls like you're paid to do it, I have no doubt ads work on you
actually ads probably won't work on you because you don't have basic reading comprehension
I think you could eliminate all tracked advertising across the internet and the losses would be much smaller than Google would have you believe.
