Teletext have more than a million users in Denmark. Truly surprising to me but it is also kinda awesome. It certainly still serves a purpose. No ads, no noise just pure signal.
- alkonaut 8y agoThe swedish teletext is still also very popular. It's like the original internet and the internet for old people. Even funnier: us semi-greybeards that do use this other internet, often still use teletext via app/web browser because it's such pure information. It's news/weather/ and other info in curated and distilled form. Example: https://www.svt.se/svttext/web/pages/101.html https://www.svt.se/svttext/web/pages/101.html
- zahrc 8y agoGerman Teletext is filled with ads. FIND WOMEN IN YOUR AREA is what I consider ads.
- mrweasel 8y agoThe TV stations not broadcasting from Denmark, and not funded (at least partially) by public money had similar ads. Either for adult services, or betting. What most view as "the real teletext" is the service provided by DR (Danmarks Radio), the Danish equivalent of the BBC. They are not allowed to show ads anywhere.
- cornedor 8y agoOn the site [1] of the NOS (dutch broadcast foundation) there is even a big button in the header. Clicking trough the news items on the site is very slow compared to clicking trough news items on the Teletekst app. [1] https://nos.nl https://nos.nl
