This is top level enshittification. You’re showing the user an ad that is, as OP says, the opposite of what they want, and then charging Truth Social for the impression. Magnificent!
‘Targeted advertising’ is shockingly untargeted. As the underpinning of our digital economy, the value of online advertising is dangerously overinflated.
When I watched youtube on my phone, logged into my google profile, I got generic TV ads for women’s hair care products.
I am a bald man.
The only time I ever click on an ad for anything is because I want to see exactly how much they are charging for whatever clearly ridiculous thing they’re advertising. Meaning I was never planning on buying it. Thankfully, that is rare.
Fuck. For a second there I thought it was an ad in Lemmy, and was enraged that this shit was pushed. Don’t scare me like that
I like how they expertly hide the fact that it’s nazi propaganda and the photos are like “uh, here’s some pictures of plants! It’s uh, people share uh, gardening tips yeah!”
