Advertising has been around for more than 2000 years, maybe there is actually some want for it in enough people. To be notified about things without actively looking is not an insane thing to want.
- lambdaba 3y agoMake it fully opt-in then.
- RandomLensman 3y agoHow do you make a sign on a shop opt-in?
- lambdaba 3y agoI was thinking about behavioral advertising, but I'm pro banning advertising on all public surfaces too, iirc like in Barcelona. But to your point I guess in the near future with AR.
- RandomLensman 3y agoSo AR will be forced on everyone? Btw., even Barcelona still has names of shops etc. outside.
- lambdaba 3y agoWell the "naked" reality is a commons, if you want an advertisement layer you put on your AR device.
- RandomLensman 3y agoSo only tech will tell me in which building something is - sure, force more tech on everyone but complain about advertising.
- dieselgate 3y agoIn theory a browser or search engine could have an opt-in/toggle ad experience. Some people have mentioned they don't mind seeing them which is astounding to me. On a more whimsical level brick-n-mortars could have signage on the non-visible light spectrum and opting in could be using some wearable to enable visibility. edit clarity
- zxexz 3y agoSome states (Maine, Vermont come to mind off the bat) have banned billboards. I don't think anyone is talking about a sign hanging outside of a shop - pretty sure people are mostly referring to digital advertisements.
- phendrenad2 3y agoThat's like saying "it's okay to ban food because a state banned raw milk". Obviously people are using and finding advertisements in Vermont, in a newspaper or in Google Maps.
- zxexz 3y agoI was just talking about billboards, in response to a comment talking about physical signage - I wasn't making any assertions about any other forms of advertisement, physical or digital, in Vermont or anywhere else.
- tpush 3y agoThe want in advertisement comes primarily from those that want to advertise, not the other way round.
- RandomLensman 3y agoHow would you know? The person in Pompeii looking for a place with food might have really wanted some sign on the wall pointing in the right direction.
- lambdaba 3y agoGoogle Maps was really primitive at that time though :P.
- whimsicalism 3y agoI know lots of people who get value from IG ads
- havnagiggle 3y agoThe only reason I went to a soccer game recently was because of an advertisement. I don't understand the bubble some folks craft for themselves, and then expect everyone's world view to conform.
