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.

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

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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

market researchers have figured this out several decades ago

and no the market hasn’t deflated so there’s your answer

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 3 months ago

Meaning current ad market in IT is a bubble? Possibly driven by dominant Google?

[–] shani66@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago

No, not at all. Sure the rich want to be richer, but hurting the poor is a goal in and of itself in our world.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

So there's this company called flock safety. They provide license plate cameras for the majority of police departments in the US. They're talking about providing another service in order to do traffic analysis. It won't be too long until they start selling data to advertising companies. You would say, so what they can't know who I am based on a licence plate. Guess what? If you go to a gas station they could take a picture of your license plate and corelate it with your credit card in order to find your name. Imagine driving down the road and having targeted ads on a billboard.

Some people take the weirdest things far too seriously

[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And some people get upset by the smallest things

I'm sure that sounds familiar to someone...

If you can't remember 5 hours ago, I recommend changing what you do.

[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

What a highly ironic statement to make. Go download yourself some self-awareness.

Idk, I don't think creating a Spotify playlist is taking things seriously at all

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Having it live in your head so much that you take the time to do it is a bit much.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I don't think this took more than 5 minutes. It's a joke, relax.

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

The sad life of a comedian, need to live with the joke in their heads until they make the joke...
