Many of them think they’re supporting the free and open internet. I can promise you that many ad engineers take privacy very seriously, and from their perspective, google is leading the charge on less invasive Display ad tech.
I seriously doubt the people in this thread will agree with any of that, but I thought I’d answer the question. Of course, the money helps too - Google just recently laid off thousands of workers in an attempt to scare the rest into compliance

- Zetobal 3y agoSo google has their campuses in Bizarro World, got it.
- dgan 3y agoOn another spectrum, RuZZians invading Ukraine right now are really thinking they are "liberating" it.
- izacus 3y agoYeah, please don't compare ads with actual murdering, raping and civilan massacres.
- maleldil 3y agoI don't think they're comparing the merits of either, but rather how can humans can convince themselves they're doing the right thing when it's obvious to us that they aren't. "no one thinks himself a villain, and few make decisions they think are wrong".
- izacus 3y agoI'm still convinced they can find a more suitable and less gross comparison. You're seeing an Ad, not having your family shot in the head. Some perspective please.

- dgan 3y agoAw, poor invaders, such tough times with racism nowadays, can't even invade peacefully
- penneallagricia 3y agoWar or not, that doesn't justify you being a racist. Otherwise anyone could say that Ukrainians are all nostalgic of nazism.
- penneallagricia 3y agoNice display of unwarranted racism on a completely unrelated thread.
- tgv 3y ago> from their perspective, google is leading the charge on less invasive Display ad tech That would require levels of cognitive dissonance rarely seen outside fraudulent politicians. But that's phrasing it sarcastically, something best avoided in conversations. Bluntly put: indeed, I don't believe you. You cannot work for Google/Alphabet, where 80% of revenue ($183 billion in 2020!) comes from ads, and believe you're doing privacy a favor.
- bbor 3y agoGoogle makes money from ads so therefor they can’t be leading the charge on less invasive ad tech…? They want less invasive ad tech, trust me. Regulatory capture only goes so far, and they know that well. Google is doing WAY more for “the next generation of display ads” than any other company. And I promise I’m not lying :) All of this is kinda silly, in the end: display ads are negligible when compared to their INSANE search ads revenue, and something tells me they’re not long for this world
