Enticing someone to try the content is different from making it difficult for them to stop paying for it. A more appropriate analogy would be if gyms noticed that having pictures of fit people in the advertisement increased the effectiveness of the ads and you were complaining about that. A face in a thumbnail has no cost to you.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoThat's a fair assessment. So I guess the question is, do we think having ads that psychologically manipulate us into doing things we would not otherwise do are not making the world a worse place? Because I feel that they are. There is a mental cost to fighting this attempted manipulation that we all have to pay.
