That component doesn’t matter because advertising also makes it harder to find what you need, since everyone is doing it. If you didn’t know it previously existed, how do you even know if it will solve your problem like it says it does?
- echoangle 2y agoI see an ad for the steam deck and think “wow, a portable gaming console allowing me to play computer games while on trips. Very cool!”, but I am not actively googling for gaming consoles every month to see what’s released. Or movies, basically all movies I went to a cinema for were because the trailers were played as ads somewhere. I’m not actively monitoring movie releases.
- lukev 2y agoNobody is saying there wouldn't be catalogs and "new release" feeds... they would just have to be dedicated and voluntary and not polluting everything else I'm trying to do.
- ambicapter 2y agoIf you go see a movie because of an ad and the movie turns out to be shit, are you glad advertising led you to discover that movie?
- echoangle 2y agoIf the ad was misleading, no. But I don’t just go to a movie after seeing an ad, I then look up reviews and other information about it. The ad is just useful to know that the movie exists and is roughly something I would be interested in.
