I was expecting a more thought out post from such a strong title.
I don't think it makes sense to support this argument by correlating the value of advertising with the health of the economy or whatever he was trying to do. He should have left the economy out of the equation if he wanted a stronger case.
I would argue that online advertising will become more and more accurate with its targeting methods, which in turn will raise its value as opposed to destroying it.
- jerf 18y agoI believe he has made the point before that at the ultimate extreme of targeted advertising... it's not advertising anymore, it's just providing you with a product you want. Which his example is an example of; information so targeted that it goes beyond being an "ad".
- unalone 18y agoThat's silly. It's still within the scope of advertising. Question: does a company like Cuisinart have to pay to list their product in Amazon?
- tdavis 18y agoI wouldn't describe the title as "strong," I'd describe it as a good indicator of idiocy ahead. I'm glad that online advertising can either be booming or dead; if there were a middle ground I might actually have to use my brain. Disclaimer: I did not read this article, only the title, which enraged me sufficiently.
