yeah basically the major game sites are an extortion scheme

either the game companies pay them enough money, either in advertising or just straight payola or their games get less than 8.0 (aka the kiss of death)

when you get a reviewer that actually tries to evaluate the games objectively, they'll get ridden out on a rail if they don't quid the pro quo

Didn't Electronic Gaming Monthly reguarly trash games? RIP print media.

YouTube pr-roll with "advertisement" on it still exists

premium content TV channels still roll ads during commercial breaks even online.

so they're pulling a hulu?

noticed amazon prime video does this too now, plugs stuff between shows

If you�ve watched syndicated reruns of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother in 2011, you might have been startled to see advertisements for movies such as Bad Teacher and Zookeeper in episodes that originally aired as early as 2006, long before those films were made. The photos here, for instance, are from the second-season episode titled �Swarley,� which originally aired Nov. 6, 2006 � more than four years before Bad Teacher hit theaters. So� what exactly is going with this phenomenon? EW investigated, and here�s the scoop.

Turns out that 20th Television � the studio distributor behind Mother � has been selling promotional spots in syndicated episodes to wring even more money out of the sitcom�s already rich syndication deals. Specifically, the feat is accomplished by a partnership with a company, SeamBI, which stands for Seamless Brand Integration and is responsible for digitally altering old episodes with new products and brands.

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.�

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
