ad plays
I don’t understand how more people aren’t being actively driven insane by the hell we have constructed around ourselves
Jellyfin and Arr for piracy. Ublock for browsing. Sponsorblock for YouTube.
for billboards.It’s like in the Futurama episode where they beam ads into your dreams and everyone is just used to it.
I think not being driven insane by the hell we have constructed around ourselves is itself a symptom of an even deeper insanity, for which the omnipresent ads serve as a kind of voight-kampf test
I was listening to an episode of a podcast on iHeartRadio (terrible platform btw) and I am pretty sure they served me personalised ads in a podcast episode which was new for me.
I can only guess but here is what happened. The audio stream took a long time to start so they could be doing some preprocessing. Then the ad mentioned a local online store so it was localised for my country.
Seems like iHeartRadio podcasts are 40% ads and half the ads are for their true crime slop.
Yeah, iHeart podcasts have dynamically spliced ads. In Poland I just get ads for other podcasts
At first I just thought you meant the product placement that shows have been doing for a long time (love when the characters in Bones organically get distracted talking about the features in a someone’s new SUV), but somehow this is even more insulting.
