"Manipulation capital" is marketing. Personally, I think unbridled marketing is a serious problem. You might have a hard time convincing everyone else that something that existed before they were born is a problem worth fixing, though.
- mindvirus 6y agoThere's a major difference between personally targeted advertising tracking you across your entire life, and broadly targeted things like billboards and TV ads though.
- tremon 6y agoI think unbridled marketing is a serious problem That's why serious countries have truth-in-advertising laws, laws against cold-calling private citizens, and laws against targeting specific demographics. But these laws affect marketing output, because up to web 2.0, individual target profiling was impossible. So this is not something that existed since before they were born. A) marketing output never was unbridled, and B) marketing input never was this wide and detailed in scope.
