PuTTY riot posted:it's really smart if u think about it. most ppl won't try to disable it they'll just think it's time warner or something. lol I have one of the tvs in question. the smartness for me really just means there's a netflix button on he remote but the app is so loving unbearably slow and clunky that everyone just uses the computer to do it except my mom with alZheimers and she uses the app and manages ok which is pretty surprising given the state of her brain. overall I like it, good picture quality n stuff I guess. when I was looking at tvs I couldn't find decent ones that didn't have smart tv stuff on them so whatever

the internet was founded on the principles of easy, anonymous and hard-to-stop sharing of digital information and I wont stand for anyone disrespecting the hard work the early cyber pioneers put into it by advocacy of actually PAYING for movies and music.

pagancow posted:they'll just start making media for people who will buy, watch ad impressions. this has always been the case and will not magically stop being the case if everyone stopped pirating movies if everyone stopped pirating media here is what would happen: 1) media companies make a bunch more money 2) that's it there is no (2)

the idea that if we watch advertising then we will get shows we like is demonstrably false. stop saying it.

qirex posted:what's happened is that now that there's metrics that show that "new" advertising doesn't perform very well money is going back into "old" advertising [which probably performs identically poorly but since there's no way to prove it they'll be optimistic] yep I'd actually be surprised if traditional did anywhere nearly as well the Nielsen lies are just so established in the industry that there's no stopping them.

it's not like ads don't work, they do, it's just that it all falls under "brand awareness" and "brand lift" and those are some really vague numbers so you really need truly mass market products to make advertising work for you

the entire advertising industry, which drives all media, is built on elaborate lies that everyone knows are lies but that no one can acknowledge because the lie makes it all work. like as soon as someone that people listen to starts to grapple with the incredibly hosed up math of tv ratings, all the networks are hosed, every one of them. it's like that thing back in the 80s where they started looking at actual sales to find out what the top 40 hits were instead of just asking record store owners for ther opinions were and omg it turns out rap and country are HUGE except this is about several orders of magnitude more money

mishaq posted:what i dont get with the ads on internet video streaming sites is why they are served from a different domain/server than the actual content that allows adblock to block them because of the way the ads are served. CBS.com has mostly no idea what ads its serving and shuffling different ads on and off cbs.com would be a big pain in the butt and would slow down the incredibly high speed ad market. no one cares about Adblock because (1) it's not that common and (2) no one wants to get into an arms race they can't win.

Last Chance posted:a ton of sites just dont play videos properly if they detect adblock is in use. at least the chrome/safari versions anyway. so they are detecting and blocking the adblock so to speak. lovely little backwater sites living off the pittance they get from whatever godawful network they're with, sure. those are mostly driven by petty self righteous site owners all bent out of shape over people stealing from them.

Sagebrush posted:i don't have a neilsen box so i can watch and pirate and block whatever the gently caress i want and it doesn't affect the media industry in the slightest. that's not true for digital ads because depending on the agreement the site has with their network you're actually stealing up to a dime from them. if you honestly feel some guilt over this, unadblock the site a click a few ads then re Adblock it and you should be square with that site for life
