lol, Google can eat my entire adblocker, and then have a little noscript for dessert.
Treating ads like a feature...
I opened youtube in private window the other day which means I saw YT ads for the first time in years. Immediately I got two ads for a scam product, some sort of pressure nozzle that magically increases pressure 15x. Every time some ads slip through my blockers it's the same, half of them are obvious scams. Google and Meta obviously know this but they still get paid so they don't care.
I don't understand how some of my friends don't use adblock. One of them always just seems overwhelmed, and I don't think the ads are helping. But they also have no brain energy to change anything.
This really is rather dystopian. Who uses this? Who wants this? I mean besides Google and the advertisers.
Next, maybe we’ll get to directly customize our political propaganda.
Maybe, Cultfinder^TM^. A website where you create a profile and it matches you with a cult tailored to your insecurities.
AbuseChoice, a tool for abusers to find victims vulnerable to their manipulations and specific tastes.
