  • This is the correct answer.

    When a company only has to please customers they are allowed to bend and in extreme cases break their own rules for a customer to be satisfied.

    When you have to please share holders and customers. You as a laborer must decide to please the customer or the share holders. Sadly the longer you work somewhere the more like you are to please a customer if you work with them directly. The further you are from the customer the more likely you are to disagree with choosing customer satisfaction over shareholder satisfaction. Begin enshitirication.

    I am bothered by ads that are targeted but still advertise meat to me (I don't eat the stuff). I am bothered by ads that prevent me from reading the content on the page.

    If they want to send a product to an influencer who actually uses the product and they post a well written out review to be crossposted on relevant communities. I'm all for that.

    But your right, the human element is missing in 99% of ads on the internet. At this point I am no longer interested in supporting these websites so everything is blocked. That is also something advertisers need to learn. If your ad devalues the reason the user loaded the page, your ad failed.


  • Oh 100% with Sports teams. I could see movie studios making their own instances. Especially marvel or dc movies that are made in a series.

    You say companies wouldn't make one but I'm willing to bet KFC, Tacobell, or Wendy's would make a decent instance considering how get their ads have been the past 10 years.

    People need to get past the laziness that the Internet has become from automating copyright strikes of youtube to automoderating forums such as reddit. It was all with the goal of not paying people for their work and it's ended up a cold and vapid internet.


  • Money. With no ads no company has any interest in it. Companies could very well make their own instances and advertise there but no one would follow, unless the ads had any value e.g. a bit of comedy or feel goods. No company wants to put any money into old school advertising they'd rather just pay Google or Facebook to shotgun ads into people's eyes.

    I seen a talented analysts leveraging this knowledge and making decent advertising firms. But that's just conjecture.
