Some ML likely doing this: they track your interests, for example you searched adblockers in the past, it goes as a feature to ML model, and model predicts that it is unlikely you will click and make purchase, and they will bid on you much lower, as result you will see lots of cheap junk Ads..
- zogrodea 3y agoWhile reading your comment, I thought abouts ads for ad blockers like "hey, we noticed you searched for ad blockers so here are the top 10 best!". That's not a good idea though.
- pitched 3y agoCould be worth it the price if the top one is an extension you own and lets some specific “partner ads” through.
- JD557 3y ago> That's not a good idea though. I wonder why you say that. At least an ad for a specific ad blocker sounds like a great idea. - Ideally, you don't send ads to users of your product - Users of inferior products will see your ad, and it might be super effective (if you used MY adblocker, you wouldn't be seeing this ad) - Everything else is a user that doesn't have an ad blocker, and it's probably an easy sell to say "would you like to never see ads like this?"
- WhyNotHugo 3y agoI can definitely see shady companies doing this. Show ads for ad-blockers. Deliver an ad-blocker with spyware or other forms of malware. The anti-malware industry used to be dominated by tools that ended up being malware (I’m sure that hasn’t changed much TBH).
