Commented in Meta & Google shouldn't be allowed to bully their way out of paying for news
Stealing news? Utter rubbish. Newspapers have been killed by the internet. Newspapers have always been primarily vehicles that sell ads with a little news thrown in to get you to buy them. Bundling just doesn't work in the internet age. What is killing newspapers is internet advertising. Many companies publishing directly. Getting the government to tax the organisations sending readers to news sites could well end up making the situation of news sites worse.

Commented in The Age of Advertising Must Come to an End
No it doesn't,it's just told us it does for years to assure it makes endless money. Just cause we see an ad does not mean we will do what it commands. I started muting ads as a child when I realized how they deceived the general public with their bs. Ads do not influence everything we do,we just are not that stupid..Ok,some of us are that stupid,but not everyone. The below quote is yet another big lie rammed down our throats anytime we have the gonads to disagree with them. We are not robots they can control and manipulate,but they never stop trying. I do not watch advertisements cause I hate them with a passion. The:"You must buy this or you will never be as happy as the people in our ad" is such a crockI don't buy fast food,junk foodor big name products cause I don't want them. My latest acquisition was a gargoyle gecko and his enclosure and powdered food was sold to me by the family owned pet shop,not by some glossy ad on tv or the Internet. I also use an ad blocker. Anyway,this actually turned into a very good look at the vile ad industry and capitalistisim in general. I enjoyed it.
The advertising industry is a global juggernaut that influences everything we do, up to and including our behavior, opinions, preferences, and even our thoughts.

Commented in Meta documents show main metaverse is losing users and falling short of goals, report says
Here in Belgium on the streaming sites there's a lot of advertising by Meta for their metaverse. Almost to the point that they seem desperate to get it sold. Imho when a product or service "needs" that much advertising, it's probably not worth trying or even looking at it. A good product advertises itself.

Commented in Space adverts are now economically viable but potentially dangerous
We want the whole sky to be one ugly billboard so everyone can never forget how wonderful our product is and we will never let you forget we exist for one second. . Buy me,buy me,buy me,nothing is more important than my precious product. And if what we do causes problems for people,well that's the cost of doing busdiness.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate advertising? I believe I have. I just hope this kind of selfish behavior can be prevented.

Commented in Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockers - gHacks Tech News
Word!!
On my website I refuse to display advertising or make use of any adservice, which results in a site that contains no cookies or trackers. Another thing, which resulted in said website, is that ads on a site are, to me, something to be ashamed about. I do not feel well that my content is disturbed by ads and other screams for attention by third parties. If they want a place to sell their goods, they should create that and not disturb other people's ideas and thoughts with their, sometimes truely annoying, messages. Let those pesky advertisers have their own platform, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or some other outlet that is already a sewage.
Also, I think that the use of trackers and intrusive scripts goes against privacy and web-safety, two things that get thrown out of the window first when currency-signs get involved. -
Commented in Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockers - gHacks Tech News
I don't block "content",I block ads. Years ago,ad mongers had the chance to play nice on the internet and refused to do so...My blocking them is the end result. The advertising industry wants to remove your freedom to control your own computer & they forget, It's an internet browser, not an internet billboard.

Commented in Why Analyze Your Advertising Operations?
If you are a B2C company, this should be part of your regular marketing strategy. You don't know what works well and what is a stinker if you don't analyze your advertising campaigns.

Commented in New device puts music in your head — no headphones required

Commented in Can Killing Cookies Save Journalism?
I can acknowledge that, but in a different way. The website where I present my artwork has no cookies or anything close to trackers whatsoever, all on purpose. But the big whammy I had this year was when I quit Facebook as my daily outlet advertising for my site. Within a month my unique visitor count tripled and last month I even had another grow-sprint of about 23%. :-)
There are only two things connected to other sites and those are my SEO (just keywords, no scripting) and one link to my Instagram-profile. That's all.
Considering the fact that most social media promise a lot of visitors to your site and lots of people fall for that, a strong belief started to exist that it is beneficiary for the advertisers, which is, in my case, absolutely not true. And thus I side with this article, because it clearly shows that social media is absolutely not needed to facilitate a nice website with lots of unique visitors.
Social media like Facebook keeps your advertisement and posts linked to your website under hefty control and show it only to people whenever it suits them or their algorithm. That's what bugged me in the first place and after six months of running my site the way it does now, I wholeheartedly can advise anyone who wants more unique visitors to their site (and build up a clientele consisting of people outside the tiny "social-media-bubble") to try the same as I did.
Also: people take me and my artwork way more seriously after that simple, but effective solution. As if Facebook and the likes makes you look like an amateur, which it actually does with their bloated and, dare I say, badly designed sites. -
Commented in Is Racism a Mental Illness?
That’s a really well-written piece
there’s a definite neural process called “speciation” which in part is a result of learned behavior, yes but which is nevertheless neurological and incorrectly in the mind of an individual classifies other people as members of a different species based on differences in creed or ethnicity in general
whether that’s a disorder or not I cannot comment but it is well understood and studied and that knowledge should result in some sort of legislation against people evoking or irritating the phenomenon as it clearly results in systemic problems that actively harm people; problems which can and should be avoided
however, such a thing would not only spell the end of hate news for profit and social media advertising but would also lead down a slippery slope for corporate marketing in general and organized religion peddlers too so I suspect it would be viciously opposed (perhaps ironically, by appealing to the very same neurological mechanisms)

Commented in Are ad blockers doomed or have we already won? A history lesson
As recently as June of 2019 Google was actively planning to break ad-blockers by creating and implementing their Manifest v3 changes, which would change how the API's that the blockers use work. source
In November, they started implementing the change in the development branch, Chrome Canary. source
Google's Response to the public outcry in June was to claim, No, Chrome isn’t killing ad blockers -- we’re making them safer So much like politicians like to scream for the kids, Google plans to scream for security! Despite months prior claiming it was to increase performance.
If you are thinking well I'll just use Firefox or Microsoft Edge, well Firefox likes to remain compatibility with Chrome so it's easy for extensions to work on both, they don't want a scenario where extensions aren't available for them because most people use Chrome, but they have said they have no plan to implement or make mandatory that specific part of manifest v3. Microsoft had originally come out against the change but then decided to go all-in with Google by making Edge a chromium-based browser so who knows. Mozilla's page on Manifest V3
So to answer the posts original question, we haven't won and the battle rages on with King Google ready to strike a decisively bad blow to adblocking. It really was a bad decision to let an advertising company become the creator of the world's leading internet browser, we should have known one day they would come for the extensions that hurt their bottom line. Much like the ISP owning the Cable companies.

Commented in Adidas three-stripe trademark ruled invalid by EU court
Totally agree. I'm also puzzled by the willingness of high-end brands to, as you say, have their customers do free advertising for them.
How many of us would be willing to wear a billboard with a company's name on it? When we don't earn anything from it? And when its something that costs us money - like shoes, handbag, or shirt, there is even less sense in advertising it for them.
I agree it looks tacky and again, I'm surprised at high end brands doing this.

Commented in Pelosi Tacitly Admits That Russiagate Is Bullshit
This type of judicial media circus has been fueling advertising revenues for several administrations. And that's all it is.

And it will happen again.

Commented in Why are you ignoring us? #StopDrivingCar
It's an honorable goal, but that's not the tone you want to take to ask people for donations.
I understand that with your non-primary language it may be difficult to portray tone.
Here's a TL;DR with my interpretation.
We need to stop driving cars in order to save the planet. -- Good. I agree. I understand the reason you have a desperate tone.
If you live somewhere with bad public transportation, move to somewhere with good public transportation. -- That's easy to say on paper, but isn't realistic.
We quit our jobs to do this full time and nobody has given us any money! -- As far as I can tell from your Patreon, you are going to use the money to basically spread awareness. How? Are you going to hire a PR specialist? Are you going to advertise on TV, Radio, Websites? Are you going to just maintain a website and sit on the rest of the money? You need to have a tangible plan once you reach certain goals, or nobody will give you any money. Why don't you take the time to do a little bit of research on what you can do with certain amounts of money. Say you reach $100 a month. That's not much, but you can maintain your website plus do some minor web advertising. At $500 per month you could do X. At $5000 per month you could hire someone to help. At $10,000 per month you could start to think about purchasing a bus and hiring a driver in a location near you to add revenue. Once you have a separate reliable revenue stream you could rely less on the Patreon patrons and use the Patreon money to do more.
Cars are bad. Electric cars suck too! -- Another point where I could agree with you, but you are condescending. I recommend you go to Fiverr and pay someone a small amount to do the writing for you. Good writing is very important if you want to be successful.
I can't believe people are still ignoring us! You are scum! Stop being irrational assholes! -- GET SOMEONE ELSE TO WRITE FOR YOU!!!
