I hope to heck in another 50 years they'll look back at all the ads on the web, in smart home assistants, etc. with the same disdain.
- shortcake27 3y agoHere’s hoping, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Ford is going to start forcing ads on you in your own car [0], and Samsung is planning to make all of its devices “smart”. I can’t wait for the day when my overpriced microwave forces me to watch a 30 second ad before it cooks my food. It used to be that if you weren’t paying, you were the product. But these companies figured out something better - they can make you pay to be the product.
