What sort of targeting do you use for your campaigns, and how privacy-violating are those targetings?
Running an ad campaign, or having to 'get the word out' for something possibly meaningful can be an enlightening and transformative experience for so many people who live adjacent to, but otherwise 'totally outside' the ostensibly opaque world of marketing.
It's one of the most stupidly represented issues in pop culture, like 'reefer madness' memes form the 1960s' where 'smoking weed will make you gay!'. Well - just 'smoke weed' once and you realize it's frankly just not that big of a deal.
Ads are ancient, normal, universal. The industry has serious efficiency problems, we're starting to face privacy issues (which are overstated but nevertheless legit), and I don't like some mediums (I for one, think we should dump most billboards) - but the nature of the industry is not wrong or evil, it's actually beneifical.
'Good ads' are a win for everyone. HFT is only a win for those directly involved and it's zero sum.
Can you prove how? Thats what the previous poster was asking.
>'Good ads' are a win for everyone.
Again, how? I don't like ads. I think they're annoying. They're not good for me.
I think you're drinking the koolaid.
