They’re working on a way to project ads onto your closed eyelids and count that as engagement. It’s technically eyeballs. Maybe the brand makes it into your dreams.
ad agencies would start sell their ads as "non-tiring" or whether bullshit marketing term they come up with and nothing else would change.
Moneymen will gladly burn the entire planet down into slag if they though it could get them one more penny every month
It's a prisoner dilemma situation. It doesn't matter how effective the ads are on an absolute scale, but a relative one. The aim is to get more facetime than your competition. Unfortunately, any company that opts out gets flattened.
Incidentally, this is why tobacco companies loved the ad ban (at least in the UK). It had long reached the point where they couldn't encourage many people to smoke. They were advertising to cancel out the poaching of customers by other brands.
Scroll down the archive until beginning of April and there is the tumblr post. I can't open/share the post directly as everytime I want to press anything on tumblr it nags me to login
I just choose not to remember people that aren't important to me. You don't live in my head rent free, but thanks for letting me live in yours rent free

If a scientist group figured out that overexposition to ads decreases the efficiency (zoning out) you think the market would deflate?

market researchers have figured this out several decades ago
and no the market hasn’t deflated so there’s your answer
MonkderDritte@feddit.de · 2 pts · 2y
Meaning current ad market in IT is a bubble? Possibly driven by dominant Google?
spujb@lemmy.cafe · 4 pts · 2y
i don’t think bubbles last 40+ years, i wouldn’t hold out for a change anytime soon :(

So the only way out would be legal pressure? Now how to get there?

Blisterexe@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 2y
Not sure, an easier way to do it is by running the mobile version of robloc with waydroid
Edit: I recommend that over s vm
