he’s not lying. he just has a very specific definition where “everything” means “ads.” pagan cow was forced to have to focus on content and not giant ads taking up 2/3 of a webpage

as previously mentioned web devs are weak in the brain and there are usually a number of ways to circumvent that. but in principle you should not give traffic to sites who nag you about ad block, as they don’t have content that is valuable enough in itself to warrant existing otherwise

This works best if you never buy the product/service that ad advertised.

quote:

Internet advertising firms are losing hundreds of millions of dollars following the introduction of a new privacy feature from Apple that prevents users from being tracked around the web.

Advertising technology firm Criteo, one of the largest in the industry, says that the Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) feature for Safari, which holds 15% of the global browser market, is likely to cut its 2018 revenue by more than a fifth compared to projections made before ITP was announced.

With annual revenue in 2016 topping $730m, the overall cost of the privacy feature on just one company is likely to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Dennis Buchheim, general manager of the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s Tech Lab, said that the feature would impact the industry widely.

“We expect a range of companies are facing similar negative impacts from Apple’s Safari tracking changes. Moreover, we anticipate that Apple will retain ITP and evolve it over time as they see fit,” Buchheim told the Guardian.

“There will surely be some continued efforts to ‘outwit’ ITP, but we recommend more sustainable, responsible approaches in the short-term,” Buchheim added. “We also want to work across the industry (ideally including Apple) longer-term to address more robust, cross-device advertising targeting and measurement capabilities that are also consumer friendly.”

the only "consumer friendly" advertising would be one where the user would explicitly request ads on a specific topic, aka no advertising

i mean, is untargeted really so terrible?

for example, if i sell a special cleaning spray that can get cum stains off of particle board, I don't need a list of serial masturbators, i can just put ads here on something awful
