Ads Have Officially Gone Insane
3 months ago by ExtremeDullard to c/enshittification
The internet didn't use to have so many ads and the commercials from the past used to actually entertain us. Today, brands just flash their products and expect us to buy it. And as if we didn't have enough ads here on planet Earth, tech bros are now attempting to deploy ads into space.

I don’t even see that? What the heck?
Oh look my comment got removed by a mod lmfao. Lemmy is such a joke.
Edit: doesn’t even show in modlog. Sounds like database manipulation.
i still see your comment so I'm not even sure if it was purposefully removed at this point
Go to it on Lemmy.world directly. Removed by Mod
"... global ad spend..."
And I'm out. If you're going to talk like a used-car salesman, I don't expect anything beneficial.
If I look up at the stars and see a fucking ad, I'm going to go postal. That's right! I'll write a stern letter and go to the post office to mail it!
Auto-mod or just trashy mod?

What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

"Seen this commercial on TV the other day, starts off with a woman with a black eye and she's like 'My husband beats me. I had a miscarriage. I owe the IRS $50,000.' and then it just said 'got milk?'"
