    ‘It sees that you bought a ticket to Budapest, so you get more tickets to Budapest...All they really know about you is your shopping.’

    i've never understood this thought process. surely it's far more effective to make suggestions of other shit that other buyers of whatever it is you've bought have also bought (many website do this already)? <-- spot the non-marketer

    and as i'm sure i'm not the only one to use ad and tracker blockers, rendering all those stupid ads pointless anyway

    • I'm immune to ads. You know these "have you seen any ads of product X"-questions on Youtube? I always choose "none of the above" and Im not lyingdrgs
    • I could not tell for the life of me what ad I just watched 5 min agodrgs
    • I would actually appreciate it if youtube ran ads for cool affordable watch brands or a 100% british wool shawl cardigan etc, things i'm shopping for right nowshapesalad
    • Instead I get annoying ads for that Evony mobile game. I've not played a mobile game since 2009 when i got an iPhone and play game for 10mins then deleted it.shapesalad
    • Instead i'm drilling through google search results trying to find a 100% british stylish knitwear brands. I found instagram shop search to be more useful.shapesalad
    • Internet is peaked shit now. But it won't die, people still use it, platforms will just have to get smarter and better the ad serving, current system is bad forshapesalad
    • all parties.shapesalad
    • @shape YT is the adtech platform. You watch a lot of mindnumbing content and so you get the ads for dumb thingsnb
    • I think you do, based on some of the stuff you share here. I might be wrongnb
