> put relevant ads in front of people
I'd say the main problem is this. Nobody has ever asked for ads to begin with.
The unethical part is not better ad targeting, it's simply the fact that advertising exists and is depriving the world of millions of man-hours that could be put to better use.
- cm2012 8y agoPeople ask for varied content, but don't want to pay for many providers, so ads help provide the content.
- Rjevski 8y agoMaybe people don't pay because they didn't want the "content" and it isn't good content anyway, but are merely being manipulated into watching it (through "feedback loops" like social media "likes", etc) by the creators of this garbage content for the purpose of getting ad views?
