Back in the day when google was growing, there were similar alarms about tracking and personalized ads. People didn't care, I doubt they would care with devices like echo too.
- nickjj 9y agoI think the difference here is you can 100% ignore ads on Google. At this point my brain doesn't even see sponsored ads as I immediately look at the first organic result. If you consume your content through audio then you're forced into listening to the ad / sponsored answer.
- Spivak 9y ago> At this point my brain doesn't even see sponsored ads "I'm not affected by ads" is just a lie we tell ourselves. Why aren't you just blocking them? Around these parts it's basically digital hygiene.
- nickjj 9y agoI do block them with ublock origin and have been for years. For some unknown reason I thought adwords ads came through and I just happened to subconsciously ignore them, but having just Googled for something now, I see they are not even there. Funny how the brain works.
