You say that like it's a bad thing.
- LoganDark 8mo agoRemember: Advertisers cry with money.
- jonhohle 8mo agoThey’ve proven themselves to be bad actors with no moral compass. No different than street drug dealers, casinos, traffickers, or any other predatory industry. They should’ve regulated as such. I don’t have any problem with old-timey “Dishsoap Brand Dishsoap sponsored this content. They want you to know that a dish isn’t clean unless it’s Dishsoap clean!” Type ads. Much beyond that should no longer be tolerated.

Much beyond that should no longer be tolerated. I think the only advertising I've knowingly listened to was a Privacy.com sponsorship on The Modern Rogue. Now been a paying customer for years and they have been mostly great. I think that sponsorship was back in, like, 2015 or 2016. Oh how times have changed. (I'm sure there are thousands of subconscious influences that I have no idea about, though. Maybe a few radio ads put a brand in my mind for something so I didn't search for alternatives. I don't listen to broadcast radio anymore though.)
- munk-a 8mo agoHeck no - I own a Samsung purely to continue to have access to Sound Assistant (to enable individual app volume control without rooting my device). I just want everyone to be clear on why it isn't happening. This is also the same reason why early versions of Android had incredibly fine-grained permission controls that was stripped out... can't have users blocking inter-app marketing key coordination after all.
- handedness 8mo agoSorry, I was responding to this part of your comment: > The problem is that we'd all blocklist advertisers and then they'd all cry.
