      I like the whole way online advertising works where my computer spies on me buying a pair of wireless earbuds and for the next six months will spam me for ads for wireless earbuds, after I have already bought some Exactly the worst possible time to do so

      I also find it interesting to see ads for products I looked at on a site but choose not to buy then follow me around everywhere. Like I know this product exists. I don’t need to be told it exists. I just didn’t want to buy it.

      There's pretty strong evidence that the best technique for online ads is contextual advertising (the ad is related to the text of the website you're already currently reading) Which, you know, we already had all the way back in the 90s

      Most of the clever creepy intrusive tactics the adtech people have invented afterwards are *worse*, sometimes A LOT worse Tracking ads worst of all -- having ads *follow you over time* is a fucking awful idea that makes people very angry

      It's the equivalent of the old school traveling salesman who *comes back* after you said no and *tries again* And then shows up at your office to bother you some more Out in meatspace the use of "tracking cookies" is a great way to get arrested and/or shot

      Anyway what really pisses me off is that to add insult to injury, as tracking ads have gotten more intrusive contextual ads have gotten worse I seriously would not mind ads in videos so much if the ad had *anything at all to do* with the content of the video itself

      If you must have ads at all, then surely the best way to do it is to wait for me to watch a video about, say, cooking, and make the preroll ad that pays for it be an ad for something related to cooking Oh, nope, it's the same Progressive auto insurance ad I've seen 50,000 times

          If I am watching anything with ads, and the SAME ad runs through the whole video/show/whatever, I have 100% negative opinions of whatever they are trying to advertise. Congratulations, I now hate your product or service.

          Contextual ads can be pretty funny sometimes. My brother will make a video about PragerU and the ads will be full of PragerU. Which, in one sense, they really nailed that one, but, in another, probably not the most effective targeting.

          Like I’m ninty nine per cent convinced that outside of edge cases like movie trailers the most effective form of advertising is product placement or similar strategies. Like tasty advertising cookware in their cooking videos.
