What is the motivation to prefer untargeted ads over targeted ones?
And at least one European Neo-bank no longer does this. I don't think I was the only/first one to report them, and unfortunately I don't think they were fined for doing it, but I sure did report them.
If a bunch of people analyze your psychology and then coordinate to use what they find to scare you, that's gangstalking
When an AI does it.... it's expected advertising behavior?
I don't like that double standard. Gangstalking is gangstalking.
Okay
Give me your identity
Email, phone number, address, family members, etc.
I can show you how gangstalking works with that information
Is that something you'd be willing to share here?
But I take your point. Using clinical terms in another context creates an unnecessary/unwanted association for readers.
That is literally true though. Have you ever read one of those cookie banners to see the list of organizations stalking you at all times on the web? It's often in the high hundreds. Nearly every electronic device manufactured in the last 10 years is stalking you at all times. If you don't have an active ad blocker, they also harass you constantly in a personalized way using the information they gather by stalking you.
Though, if you're into privacy, you're probably not on Facebook.
But a good number of people find the kind of hyper-targeted advertising enabled by the tech industry very creepy.
Anything more granular than a billboard gives me the heebie-jeebies.
It cuts off a refinement step
So you’re getting the same number of ads either way, even if Facebook can’t make more money off you.
Whatever opportunity you’re imagining where a publisher would a new ad once ads become less profitable, why wouldn’t they be showing a (more profitable) ad right now?
