Is this not a perfect example of our endless thirst for dopamine? During ads what's the first thing we do - grab our phones to fill that ad time with dopamine. A 5 minute ad could actually provide some respite from that dopamine hit by

I probably would have stuck with the 720p historic LCD sony flat screen but I can't use a chromecast or plug my Xbox in either. So new screen was needed.

Is that not the same with Youtube? I'm looking at your Monday.com with the incessant pre-roll ad's over and over again. Scrolling through movies feels like the new-era of watching ads sometimes.

Curiosity Stream. MagellanTV was one, or a similar sounding one, that I also considered but was immediately put off paying for the streaming. I honestly feel like the over abundance of choice is what puts me off.

Curiosity Stream. I will give it another go but honestly, the level of quality on Youtube doc's is incredible. However, it looks like the going trend is to create a streaming version for the Youtube channel so I assume the quality and

Purely from a laziness perspective. There is not much need for a TV as it's just used to watch something in the evenings to take a break from the small screens. Plus, I tried to take advantage of the 0% interest rates that everyone has

I never thought it but to be fair some of the documentary content is pretty solid on Youtube. A silent video of a street food vendor preparing a meal is more than enough to keep me occupied for hours on end. I unfortunately fell for one of

The worst thing is, the more streaming services you buy the more scrolling you do. The less watching is done. Recently my TV melted and it took 2 months to get a new one. I had no choice but to watch what was on cable (in Poland) with only

Exactly, it almost feels like Google are just funding these projects to essentially make it look like there's some tech progress going on. Even the self-driving side of their ambitions which seemed to being doing wonders for making Goo

All of which has been exploited to hell to gain as much data about individuals as possible. IMO data sourcing isn't really high tech. Finding ways to convince people to use products in order to gain more data is quite interesting but n

They need to look like they are working on something decent whilst the ad casino keeps churning money for them. Otherwise investors will inevitably realize that Google hasn't really done much. I'm certain that many investors are r

From a marketing pro's perspective you assume that because you have data - reach, impressions, est. click-through rates etc - that you can find a 'quick win' aka get rich rich quick. So inevitably you try it, then you get som

The cost of keeping it like that is next to none so there's very little motivation to fix it too. I've done many remarketing ads and generally speaking setting it up to avoid recent buyers is pointless in the grand scheme of daily

The thing is these ads are not exactly effective either. I mean you'll read about the guru's with 90% conversion rate at 0.50c per click or some garbage like that but when you run them yourself, with what is considered a normal co

Exactly, it's a shit pit of affiliate marketers pumping anything for that <2% referral fee they get. As a side hustle they probably drop ship everything they are selling via Amazon affiliate links too.
