Everytime I read about the next web3.0/nft scam I think to myself ‘I want to get off mr. bones wild ride’
In what world is literally anyone but executives actually excited for something like this? Who reads this article and thinks ‘fuck yea I can’t wait for this product’?
Ah yes, new technological development used for good.
I will never use anything like that. I’m proud to have blocked all ads from my family’s home. If I believe that I need (not want) a product and/or service, then I will put great effort into research in order to get the most bang for the buck.
I don’t like 4chan, but I always knew this greentext was prescient. Not looking forward to seeing this in the wild.
i do love that the solution to making people see adverts is to force them to see adverts, not to rethink the strategy of advertising as it currently exists and whether it actually works, or to make the adverts better, or to make them more engaging, or just not obnoxious to deal with in every conceivable way:
The new MoviePass will also use your phone’s cameras to make sure that you’re actually watching the ads. “As I’m looking at it, it’s playing back. But if I stop and I’m not paying attention to it, it actually pauses the content,” Spikes said while watching an ad during the presentation. “We had an early version of this where you know what happened. People put the phone down and left and didn’t pay any attention to it. Right now 70 percent of video advertising is unseen. This is a way that advertisers get the impact they’re looking for but you’re also getting the impact yourself.”
I’d pull some pretty drastic moves to avoid that sort of nastiness, and I would not be limiting myself to legal options neither.
