Google is spoon-feeding fake “Shark Tank approved” weight loss gummy candies to innocent people — and making money doing it.
Google is spoon-feeding fake “Shark Tank approved” weight loss gummy candies to innocent people — and making money doing it.
I actually think the “solution” is in this article right here.
I think people have been slowly waking up to internet advertising
Ads are basically the only profitable part of Google, and it’s ripe for a new search-model to undermine its now old-and-busted algorithms that are only surfacing AI-produced garbage and for a new ad-competitor that produces an ad-experience that people won’t turn on adblockers for.
That was the original promise of AdBlock Plus, that they would make deals with advertisers who agreed to standards that made the ads non-intrusive and clear they were an ad.
I’m not against ads, I’m against an ad industry that thinks we owe them viewing their advertising. No, viewing advertising is a choice it’s not a legal requirement for us to use the service, to click on ads and buy things.
If the ad industry could shape up, I wouldn’t need uBlock Origin or a Pi-Hole.
There’s an opportunity, someone just have to have the capital and take the chance.
I’d probably still use PiHole but maybe ditch UBO.
