There’s a lot of problems with advertising on Google, YouTube, Instagram etc.
And it Incentivises these big tech companies to collect all your data and spy on you etc.
But where should advertisers advertise?
Let’s say everyone switches to Paid for Search, Paid for Email, stops using social media etc.
Where would advertising swith to?
If someone starts a small business from home selling pillows, how do they reach customers?
And tracking me and showing me intrusive ads makes these problems go away?
The original question was if they can’t use the surveillance advertising how will they market their stuff. My suggestions are not without issues, but they are how they can use my shopping habits to sell me their stuff without tracking me.
No no, just that there are some shortcomings with certain approaches that might still impact a company’s ability to reasonably reach customers, light emphasis on “reasonably”.
But it’s just something that they’ll have to figure out how to work around, not something those of us who are sick and tired of the ad spam should have to just accept as necessary evils.
I’m otherwise with you all the way.
