it's cool how people are blind to internet ads these days. like they have done gaze-tracking studies and people have developed the ability to automatically ignore ads without even looking at them. all those millions of years of evolved signal-to-noise filters working perfectly, but instead of ignoring grass and finding tigers, they're ignoring irrelevant advertising. it's amazing. the only place that advertising "works" at all -- i.e. gains your attention -- is when you are literally forced to watch it before you get to the thing you want. you know what that's called? indoctrination. brainwashing. nazism.

oh, well, if you can keep the level of advertising down to the level i'm capable of setting it to in w10 (which is to say: 100% opt-out-able), that's okay. advertise away as long as it can be disabled by the end user.

basically imo ads break down one of two ways 1) the amount of money that the company makes off me is so marginal (like 0.005 cents per page load or w/e) that i'm effectively meaningless to them 2) the amount of money that the company makes off me is notable (a few dollars here and there) and therefore i should have a say in how i'm going to dispense my valuable attention

HAIL eSATA-n posted:"since people who adblock hate seeing things they would want to have" i turned off adblock on some poorly coded website a while back and suddenly it reloaded and replaced the white background with a gigantic animated colorful ad for fabric softener. as a millennial, i would never buy fabric softener, even if i did want it, which i don't. the ad noticeably slowed down scrolling on the page, which irritated me, and created a powerful enough association that now when i think of fabric softener i remember that ad (don't remember the brand! just the existence of the ad) and become angry, which reinforces my desire to not buy the loving stuff. working as intended?

pagancow et al. complain that ads support the content and such, but they only do that because of this massive long-game con that advertising agencies have pulled to convince other industries of their value. it's just phenomenal money transfers from corporations to the media for little actual benefit. strange.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:Seriously have you ever tried telling gamers "why don't you just stop preordering poo poo even though you've been burned?" Even people I consider reasonable fall back on "but you get such good deals on bonus content!" i've never had this experience. it sounds like you're associating with the wrong people. pagancow posted:lol websites have little value. got it. websites have lots of value. advertising doesn't -- it's only valuable because the industry says it is. i'm sure that, as an insider, you have a perspective that lets you see both the academic studies showing that advertising conversion rates are utterly abysmal, and the industry publications showing that wow actually advertising is the most best greatest way to spend your money everyone has to do it all the time or else and we're not in denial of anything!

a company tricked them into buying a lovely product by lying about its quality. that's extremely effective advertising, granted, but it only works repeatedly on the terminally stupid (gamers). no one else is going to keep pre-ordering products from the same company that burns them like that over and over again.

fixed pricing for all customers is pretty much an invention of the american advertising industry circa 1920 prior to that it was normal to haggle over any purchase, and for shopkeepers to arbitrarily raise or lower prices depending on how much they liked you

out of curiosity do advertising execs' spreadsheets take into account the people who become so infuriated by an ad playing dozens of times in the course of an episode of tv, or by the ad's message not agreeing with them, that they come to loathe the company and swear to never patronize them? or do they just reject reality completely like, i will never purchase a lysol-brand product in my life thanks entirely to my disgust with their television advertising messages

HAIL eSATA-n posted:huh, alright then. thanks for the explanation "ASMR" , "autonomous sensory meridian response", is the tingling in your body that you get when you listen to really good music, or have a really strong emotional response to a piece of art, or have your skin gently stroked by a lover, and so on. it happens to literally everyone with a functional nervous system. for some reason, some people find that this effect is triggered by listening to girls whispering in youtube videos, but if they just said "i get all tingly when girls whisper at me" people would correctly say "i don't care" or "that's gross" so they gave it a fancy invented name and pretend that they're some kind of cutting edge psychonauts quote:The term "autonomous sensory meridian response" was coined on 25 February 2010 by Jennifer Allen, a cybersecurity professional residing in New York[5] in the introduction to a Facebook Group she founded entitled the ASMR Group.[6]

just wanted to update this thread to let y'all know that when i saw the ads for The Orville they made it look like the worst most abominable poo poo imaginable, and i was actively repelled from watching it, and it took human beings telling me otherwise to convince me to watch it and actually it's fairly decent. the advertising was 100% detrimental. well done, ads

pagancow posted:guys this is post your cool ads thread, not talk about "i saw an ad" I ain't seen a good ad in a long, long time the green tuft & needle bus station ad campaign all over the city got me to look into and eventually buy one of their mattresses, so i guess that was a good campaign. the casper mattress ads on every podcast everywhere got me to specifically reject their product. ads are best when they are seen and not heard, and when they're not seen anywhere you would otherwise have something nice
