“Advertising has been a highly successful route for big tech companies such as Google and Meta to monetise their huge online #audiences.”

“[Ad] models come with drawbacks, including the fact they are sensitive to swings in the broader #economic cycle, and that they tend to shift a company’s focus from pleasing their users to their #advertisers.”

I can't wait.

#Socialnetwork, #ecommerce #platforms shld also bear losses of scams
"Anyone who clicks on ad for sales of products placed on Facebook, Google, IG or anywhere else shld be assured tt it's been verified. There's no reason why #BigTech shld be allowed to make billions fr content they don’t vet. They're already free to #monetise our #personalinfo & bombard us w unwanted content.. platforms hv e means to stop it now. If they don't, they shld be forced by law"

"The hard-hitting report said #children needed to be protected from the #tech industry’s profit-driven “strategy of capturing children’s #attention, using all forms of #cognitive bias to shut children away on their #screens, control them, re-engage them and #monetise them”. [...] “We want [the industry] to know we’ve seen what they’re doing and we won’t let them get away with it.”"

Okay, great. Also glad we agree on the Scamazon.

We don't know how to sugarcoat this but basically the site you're linking to has Amazon trackers in the from of the images on the pages. They are served by Amazon in such a way as to make it quite possible in our view for Amazon to track someone as they access the site.

It is likely to mean that Amazon is able to #monetise a visitor's #resistance similar to other #postmodern era methods of cooption.
