What the fuck? You’re already paying out the ass to get food delivered why are they shoving ads in your face?
But what are you going to do about it, go pick up food yourself like some plebeian?
We should all be thankful that our Uber Eats Chipotle burrito only costs $57. These ads should help maintain these ultra low food prices.
I’m so fucking tired of advertisements. I’m sick and tired of it.
This, I feel monetized. I dont like that feeling and it’s the one of the reasons i’ve stopped using reddit
Me too, I’ve basically left all traditional social media because of it.
Agreed… Augmented reality is going to be a nightmare hahah
There are ways around adds; alternative apps, addblockers, roms and privacy focused browsers. The only mandatory adds are on street corners imo
If adblockers didn’t work, I’d be living alone in the woods somewhere.
The over-commercialization of everyday life we see in the Cyberpunk genre is finally becoming real. Now where’s my flying car?
At least let me get some cybernetic enhancements off the street or something…
69,666 ads away to enter the raffle. Start watching.
This should be good for Lyft.
I’ll be happy if they go through with this. I already have trouble resisting the lure of easy access food, but this will help me kick that habit.
If you aren’t paying you are the product…Wait…Aren’t we paying?
Yes but… what if we could make more money?
wow this is bullshit
Uber and lyft both work on web mobile. Still a good reason to not use uber though.
Video ads will run on the primary Uber app while users wait for their drivers to arrive and during their trips, said Mark Grether, vice president and general manager of Uber Technologies’ advertising division. They will also appear on tablets installed inside certain Uber cars.
The Uber Eats app will play video ads after customers place orders and continue until their deliveries arrive; Drizly will run them in search results on its app and website as well as other areas of the site.
Why do they think anyone will leave the app open after ordering, if it just plays ads nonstop? Is the idea that each time they load it to check their order status an ad starts playing?
Audio for ads on the company’s apps will be muted by default, while users will need to manually turn off the audio and display components of the in-ride tablets, according to Grether. Ad inventory will initially be sold directly to buyers in the form of brand takeover packages, with only one company’s ads running during any single ride or transaction.
In-car tablets with audio-enabled ads for a single company on repeat. Poor poor drivers.
I bet the first thing a driver will say once a patron gets in is “you can click this button right here to disable the ad (please please please)”
It says no subscribed communities even though I am subbed to multiple different communities.
Edit: I refreshed the app and that seems to have fixed it.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
People begged city hall to allow Uber to operate here. Begged. I wonder how they’re going to play apologetics for this now.
I am so sick of ads being everywhere. It’s such a mental load.
same. fortunately with all the apps I use, I havnt seen an ad anywhere in ages, not on youtube, ig, web, anywhere
My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.
mail ads? on instagram, i use instander (android)
