I've noticed the same thing! Wife and kids actually do tap on (some) ads and discover new games, merchandise, etc. that way. They are also easily tricked into reading or watching stuff by this or that 'influencer', which is mostly just advertising under disguise. Maybe tricked is too strong of a word here, because they seem to enjoy it ... it just seems to be part of the way they interact with online world.
- DavideNL 6y agoAs long as people are aware that their habits are being tracked and such it's a choice everyone can make for themselves. (especially kids) not being aware of 1) clicks/behavior being tracked and 2) perhaps being manipulated by exploiting this knowledge about their behavior sounds bad to me...
