>Linux users are probably the worst target market for advertisers.
Yes but not for the reason you are imagining. I can think of a few things in common between everyone I've ever known to use Linux for personal use and general consumerism to improve quality of life is not one of them.
- kornhole 4y agoThat is exactly what I was thinking. I suspect the algorithms in the real time bidding engines put anybody with Linux in their browser signature in a very cheap ad category. The market researches probably concluded that these people continue using $200 computers for years and try to repair things instead of buying new wherever possible.
