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?
Yes! I’d love ethical personalized adds. Show me exactly what I am looking for, when i want to look for it and nothing else ever. In get to see way fewer ads and the advertisers have to pay less because they have to show fewer ads.
But as long as collecting and holding my data is done by capitalism it can never be a positive thing and has to be avoided at all times.
