Today's marketing is much more targeted and dark pattern driven.
There was an earnestness to many ads back then. Either "native" style ads, or price lists -- given researching anything was much more difficult without internet, magazines and print brochures were all you had. Ads were critical.
- WalterBright 4y agoI see the personalized ads Amazon presents for me. All things I don't want.
- Shorel 4y agoMy perception of ads is they are more automated and naive than they should be. I get an ad for something I want. I get it. Then I don't need it anymore, but I get the same ad over and over again as if it went from a single thing I wanted to a hoarding obsession. Then by chance I get an ad for something I want, but I want it later in the year, not today. I click the ad but don't get it. When I want it, after few months, it is never shown again, and I get dozens of generic unrelated ads instead. I wish it was actually more tailored to me.
