Dont tell people to change. Its a red flag of intellectual bankruptcy.
Its a get out of jail free card for mindless corporate robots. The clergy used to provide these cards to feudal lords once upon a time. Today the media and edu system provide it to corporations.
More content = more ad real estate.
If you have a magic machine that produces more and more rent collecting real estate what happens to the value of real estate?
Meanwhile the total pool of available human Attention doesnt grow.
If you further filter that pool by global avg disposable income you find its a very small pool. And its being over fished massively. (Check the UN report on the Attention Economy)
This is a bizarre abnormal system that produces accumulating consequences.
Revenue of ad tech keeps growing. Content keeps growing. It keeps getting more addictive. Outrage is the natural output of such an enviroment that has been imposed on everyone. Politicians have to spend mpre and more on Ads to get elected. Becoming more and more on dependent on money to win. So they are struggling to counter balance these forces.
We have to treat Attention the same way we treat Land, Air, Water or Natural Resources. Companies cant pollute or exploit things without limit. Ads cant be injected in every 2 mm of space available and every 2 ms of time.
