Rejecting Netflix fixes things for you and me, but the article says Netflix has 93 million ad-supported subscribers. I’m really worried about the amount of influence advertisers have on our society, and it’s only getting worse. Even if you and I can be above the direct influence of these ads, many people are not, and those people are influencing you and me. This produces a dangerous secondary influence that can reach most of society, and just fills everyone’s mind with lies, for hardly any cost.
Eh, people are dumb as bricks. If it’s not ads it’s some fake news, social media nonsense, ai bullshit. It’s really pointless to worry about. You can either accept that you are sharing the planet with Trump voters and suckers who fell for NFTs or you will just go crazy.
Terrible argument. You can’t ignore scale. Algorithmic timelines increase efficacy and precision of ads tremendously. These platforms know exactly who to target with what ad, at what time, with what frequency to get the desired result. It’s like comparing a horse and buggy to a sports car.
Generative ads will be even worse because they can be made specifically to each individual.

No different than the decades of ad supported broadcast television.
Except I didn’t pay a monthly fee for over the air TV. The Jeffersons didn’t cost 4.99 a month

Yes, that bit is terrifying
