@aral You usually put it so well, what do server farms farm? Us! This article says it even better: they farm our attention. That is so true! -
@B4RT0S1K Indeed, our attention is important for ads — but that’s one symptom. The value is if I can learn enough about you to simulate you. -
@aral Why would you want to simulate me if not to find out how to get the most of my attention? Isn't my attention the end-goal right now?
