yesssssss
a few years ago on birdsite friends/acquaintances of mine in the games media used to try to shame people for using adblockers
mega eyeroll. i mean, i know it's fucking your business model to some degree, sucks, but my brain is too valuable to me to fill with even more consumerist garbage than i get by default from being a USian. not to mention the ads wasting even more of my limited lifespan
i respectfully declined to obey, in secret. because why start shit.
plz don't tell neogaf either.
a lot of of times i see a friend using their computer and they get video ads on youtube. i can only wince as they wallow in the muck. uncivilized
@alyx don't forget that the advertising system can also put website under pression and blackmail: if advertisers don't like the website content, they will ask to not display ads in it, so the webmaster will have to change the content or win less money.
I hate that people don't understand advertising can influence web content -_-
@alyx In YouTube, it was mediatized, but I know that for all video advertising that's the same. We provide to publishers (people with websites where ads can be displayed) and advertisers tools to easily configure where to put ads and where not. I really hate my job.
@DarckCrystale ah, capitalism
i hate my (main) job too! but it pays my darn bills.
@alyx adult life sucks T-T
@DarckCrystale that's been a huge issue on youtube in recent times
it's really having a chilling effect
not to mention the poor bastards who specialize in nintendo or atlus streaming
