There was a -- I think it was Cory Doctorow(?) -- post about how the mechanics of online advertising means that if you buy something because of it, you usually got a bad deal. The common markup needed in order justify an online marketing budget usually translates to a more expensive things at a lesser quality than generic equivalents. The AdTech world that Old Twitter was a part of claimed that it could use its reams and reams of user surveillance data to serve targeted ads only to the most relevant people, all in order to increase efficiency and conversion while reducing waste. While it sounds plausible in theory, I wondered if such a "targeted" system ever truly existed. If it did, it would not only present a massive cybersecurity risk, but would constitute a conspiracy to find the most gullible shucks in the universe and separate them from their money -- because those would be the only people ever worth targeting. In some ways, the modern AdTech world isn't really all that different from how InfoWars operates.

It depends. Not an expert but they have a ton of data and sometimes they can herd it into a useful profile. Aside from targeting basic demographics, it's possible to have really specific profiles. At some point Giant Bomb covered a conference or interviewed someone who attended a conference aimed at mobile game developers. Part of it was business stuff, so there was a whole talk/pitch from people who had ad databases that could track the whales in the mobile community from one game to the next. The specific example was that there was some guy who absolutely loved the Lakers, I think, so if he was in your game it was worth it to make a knock-off NBA outfit or premium costumes in their color scheme because he'd happily drop up to $50 on it. So, you can get pretty scary if you want. And also, yeah, I think it's a massive security risk but also anyone who would want the data can probably just buy it.

Yeah, but that happens regularly. Since they don't have dealerships, they do it via software updates.

sorry what is going on with Alex's audio in this one? I thought "oh man, he's got food in his mouth during the intro" but then it just kept going and sounds like he had dental surgery or something. Also lol the krassensteins have dweeb voices

I'm glad they talk about how funny it is that Elon Musk, a man who I would expect has a very capable internet connection, equipment and LITERALLY OWNS THE PLATFORM THEY ARE BROADCASTING ON, kept having audio issues on the call. Eeeeeeelooooon. EEEEEELOOOOOOON.

Groveling Alex is a new one, his listeners should have to listen to this, it’s unreal to hear him talk over everyone else just to lick elons boots. He sounds rough, slurring his words more than usual. S and B sounds make it obvious.

We've heard Alex suck up to guests/hosts before this is an entirely new level. If I were Alex, I would legitimately be loving embarrassed. The man clearly has no shame for things he should have, but going by his own mental patterns this really should make him recoil in disgust. Such a pathetic worm lmfao

There was nothing more cathartic for me in this latest episode than Jordan just casually, almost quietly scoffing at Alex referring to Elon as "sir." There was nothing performative about that reaction, trying to make it into something funny; it was just pure, reflexive disgust and was exactly what I felt in that moment.

It's a nice thought but let's not kid ourselves. He's torturing himself with some bullshit to prepare for a future episode he's just not recording about it. Dan won't stop.

Do you have to keep it in the fridge or are they all shelf-stable cheeses?

I keep it in the fridge. It’s a pretty small box that kind of unfolds like a tackle box. I have one of cheese and another of hot sauces, and every night I have a little spicy seasonal snack. It rules.
