- kennywinker 6y agoTo create more targeted advertising companies. Huzzah!
- MereInterest 6y agoTargeted advertising on the internet as a general practice did not start until the mid to late aughts, long after the internet was a success. Targeted advertising is not a reason for the Internet's success.
- Drew_ 6y agoThe internet in the mid to late aughts is not considered a success by today's standards.
- 082349872349872 6y agoI agree with you, but we probably have different opinions as to which internet should be considered a success :-)
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoPersonally I'd rather the internet be less successful and more useful/less hostile.
- disown 6y ago> Targeted advertising is a major reason for the Internet’s success. It's the major reason for social media's success, not the internet. The internet was successful long before social media. > It has allowed many companies to become extremely wealthy and invest back into the ecosystem. What? It monopolized the ecosystem. Not the same thing.
- shadowgovt 6y agoWhat do you mean by "monopolized the ecosystem?"
