As someone who owns/runs a few websites... what the FUCK are you doing if your little camera blog needs to give 775 "partners" the ability to access information on a device.

I'm very, very tired of seeing this nonsense.

Well Disney, that's made the question of whether I renew my add free subscription or not a lot easier.
"We’re clarifying that, as we continue to increase the breadth and depth of the content we make available to you, circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even where the subscription tier is indicated to be 'no ads' or 'ad free'."

this article (paywall'd) that's making the rounds about Samsung and LG smart TVs sending screenshots home (including on HDMI connections) has nasty implications for the lab where I work which has plugged laptops into a Samsung TV in meetings with sensitive HIPAA identifiers, never expecting their screen would get fed into the Great Advertising Hole: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2449198-smart-tvs-take-snapshots-of-what-you-watch-multiple-times-per-second/ #adtech #privacy #fuckadvertising
Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second

Smart TVs from Samsung and LG monitor what you are watching even when you are using the screens to display a feed from a connected laptop or video game console

Resisting Social Media and Advertising (and Why It's so Hard)

On the bright side, if more content starts getting locked behind ads the worst that happens is I go back to my old habit of just putting on "Planet Earth" (the Attenborough one) as some background noise/ambient light, almost doesn't matter what I turn on, I just need something lightly distracting or I overthink things, but I did like listening to and sometimes watching the speedrun channels

God, who built this website? I can't remember the last time I saw something this egregiously ad-heavy. I just want some info on a film stock - why do you feel the need to make my laptop melt in the process?

Another great vid from #BennJordan on the sheer scumminess of marketers today, particularly the "meme" accounts like #LadBible , #FuckAdvertising etc.
