- perl4ever 7y agoIn my opinion the near-dystopia today is a direct result of advertisers being able to measure what works and what doesn't. I think in the past, advertisers may have had power, in a sense, but they were imprisoned by assumptions and prejudices about what viewers/readers were like, that were heavily colored by wishful thinking of elites. Now they can hone in on how the average person really thinks to manipulate them, and that's what's constructing hell.
