Ad funded freebies (chat,email,video,social etc) over the last 20-30 years have made ppl forget they are free because someone else is paying. Usually with their attention, time or data being stolen. This year for the first time Ad revenues

What I guess I am wondering about is what sets the upper bounds/limits to advertising growth and ad funded free content/free service growth? Since attention is finite, and the competition for that finite resource seems to be at al

I really dont understand how the Ad Industry still survives. Attention is finite. That should put an automatic upper bound on how many Ads get sold. Info/Content has exploded. I saw a stat saying only 0.5% of content produced is consum

Yup generated code is spreading like cancer. You kind of have to develop an "empathy" for the system, just like with broken humans who cant be fixed. How are you feeling today mr.blackbox? Feeling a bit lethargic? Want a reboot?

Yup Big tech, which is really big advertising if you take Google+Meta online ad market share, get their main revenue from Likes/clicks/links/views counting + personal data. As info exploded you needed this crap to work out wh

That maybe a factor but it's also possible the attention economy is peaking. We always knew attention available is fixed. Google and Apple have reported slight slow down. Smartphone market in the west has saturated and not growing. Ppl
