I want content-linked advertising. If I’m reading a music blog I want to see ads for bands and synths, not razors and wrenches. If I’m reading stackoverflow I’d be content to gloss over ads for text editors and web hosting. Not the same f*ing razor ad. Call me old school (I’m a 70s baby, 80s child). I enjoyed the content-linked advertising in magazines. I actually read them and used them to learn the market around my interest. Robot selected ads which follow me around claiming to know what I like based on interactions I had do all the following: - creep me out because I know I’m being followed - annoy Me by removing any semblance of my own agency in the event: at least with content-linked ads I have chosen to consume that content and I feel like I want to in that zone - annoy me by getting me wrong - annoy me by assuming I’m just like everyone else that ticked the same boxes/set the same flags - annoy me by presenting mostly mainstream stuff rather than small-scale/artisan/bespoke/local stuff that would be much more interesting. I appreciate that this one ought to work better if the advertising host/network knew where I was browsing from (which is a step towards tracking) The tracking and bidding has completely destroyed what was actually good about advertising for the consumer.
