Theyβre working on a way to project ads onto your closed eyelids and count that as engagement. Itβs technically eyeballs. Maybe the brand makes it into your dreams.

2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

If a scientist group figured out that overexposition to ads decreases the efficiency (zoning out) you think the market would deflate?
ad agencies would start sell their ads as "non-tiring" or whether bullshit marketing term they come up with and nothing else would change.
Moneymen will gladly burn the entire planet down into slag if they though it could get them one more penny every month
market researchers have figured this out several decades ago
and no the market hasnβt deflated so thereβs your answer
Meaning current ad market in IT is a bubble? Possibly driven by dominant Google?
i donβt think bubbles last 40+ years, i wouldnβt hold out for a change anytime soon :(
It's a prisoner dilemma situation. It doesn't matter how effective the ads are on an absolute scale, but a relative one. The aim is to get more facetime than your competition. Unfortunately, any company that opts out gets flattened.
Incidentally, this is why tobacco companies loved the ad ban (at least in the UK). It had long reached the point where they couldn't encourage many people to smoke. They were advertising to cancel out the poaching of customers by other brands.
So the only way out would be legal pressure? Now how to get there?
Just need to find a more intrusive way, and keep innovating ahead of the competition
No, not at all. Sure the rich want to be richer, but hurting the poor is a goal in and of itself in our world.
because of the bitlocker encryption shit ,ive6been pushed over the edge, and am about to Begin installing mint, when i get a usb stick
Some people take the weirdest things far too seriously
Idk, I don't think creating a Spotify playlist is taking things seriously at all
Having it live in your head so much that you take the time to do it is a bit much.
I don't think this took more than 5 minutes. It's a joke, relax.
The sad life of a comedian, need to live with the joke in their heads until they make the joke...
We do live in a society...
I'm sure you'll be thinking about this conversation for longer than it took to make the original post.
You do understand how jokes work, right?
You:
And some people get upset by the smallest things
I'm sure that sounds familiar to someone...

Sir, would you like some content with your ads ? A bit of water maybe?
{title} could be the chorus of a song!
Spotify?
Advertising should be illegal. A good case can be made for this. A short documentary: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=McsqJnRF_XQ
