I'm not sure if you are joking or what you are talking about. Louis is ridiculing them, people on this channel are, but I see no reason to think it's anything but an *extreme* minority. I'm amazed at how much acceptance of advertising and consumerism has become normalized over my lifetime and how much the "counter culture" disappeared to almost extinction. Complaining against big corporations (I don't mean Louis or this channel's subscribers) still accepts rank consumerism, it's just people want their consumerism (and ads) fed to them differently - but every younger group accepts it more and more. It's the long con.

I use Facebook a lot, and they have this ability to see how your interests have been categorized. They had a long list of interests logged in my account details, and out of curiosity I tried to estimate how much they really know. Estimated about 25% was in the category "I don't know if I like it or not, because I don't know what it is". Then about 25% in the category "I hate this". Again 25% in the category "I'm indifferent or it's ok". Only about 25% were true interests of mine. I guess this perfectly explains why I get ads like for a christian dating app, when I'm an atheist who has been married for over 20 years.

There's an article on it from the Drum, though it's largely inconclusive; the main indication is just that the number was made up rhetoric, as far as it can be traced. More telling is the part where the advertising agency representatives don't want to give a real number. Remember, they're selling the ads, not whatever the ads are for. Also notable, that article remarked on an ad every 3 minutes as being a frightening, overblown and scary proposition. Cable TV, Tiktok and KZread easily surpass that. 😮

Advertisers are literally just trying to make their own jobs relevant. They shove so much advertising down and rely on the law of averages to show "hey look at how much attention we brought" without ever showing return on investment or how much revenue they actually generate vs how much they actually cost. They are trying to protect their jobs from being taken away by the realization that their budget is bloated, their advertising is trash, and they are completely at fault.
Labeling people who oppose you as "extremists" has become pretty common because it allows people to just decide "well, they're extremists; they're irrational and not worth listening to" rather than incentivizing anyone to sit down and listen to what "the other side" has to say. Sometimes people actually ARE extremists. Sometimes they're not. But regardless of the issue (tech, advertising, abortion, religion, civil rights, gun ownership, etc), it's so easy to just label EVERYONE who disagrees with you as extremists (and, to be fair, there are extremists on both ends of the spectrum for a lot of these issues) than to try to listen to someone who disagrees with you but ISN'T ACTUALLY an extremist and hold a conversation. A lot of issues (not all of them, but a lot of them) where there are two major schools of thought can be discussed with a certain amount of nuance in terms of legitimate concerns that people on both sides of the issue have. But that has to start with people on both sides being willing to start by asking people who don't like them "what are your concerns and how can I address them in a way that we can both be happy with" instead of just saying "I'm objectively right and anyone who disagrees is an extremist."

Some extremists are extremely worth listening to. For instance, RMS holds the position that software should all be fully user respecting, which he branded as "free software". I think, like the patent system, there could be a more moderate position; e.g. video games could have a window of time when they're not freely reproducible, for rewarding the developers, much like the patent system was intended. Some corporations like Disney and Nintendo hold views at the opposite extreme, that the populace should not have the choice to even maintain their purchased games, let alone share them.

We don't need advertising. The closest thing to an ad that has *some* use is paid reviews, and even those are on thin ice. Word of mouth is the only "advertisement" worth anything.
I'm extremely annoyed by ads. So i suppose i'm an extremist.. So many websites are almost unusable because of them, local news sites especially. 45% of my screen gets covered by ads while i attempt to read an article, and then theres an autoplaying ad video every 6 lines of text that i often end up clicking by accident, half way through i realise that this whole article was just clickbait.

Of course they'd push back. They don't want to start an all out battle that may end up with new regulations in the online ad space. It's because the ones of us who just block their stuff and carry on with our day that they can get to make money from people pushing malware and scams into old, less tech-savvy, people's computers with no consequence. If we were not allowed to block them, the government may want to actually scrutinize the content, while nowadays they hide behind "install bl-cker for security" so it's your fault when you get scammed.
The autoplay video ads with loud music was what turned me into an adblocker using extremist and life have been much better ever since.
Ads were regulated on the TV to not be allowed to exceed some decible threshold, _because_ ads then would maliciously make their volume twice as loud as the show you were watching, _because_ people would get up and walk away during commercials, _because_ people *don't want to be advertised to.* Ads on the internet need to hindered and regulated, they are out of control. Actively preventing you from doing the thing you are trying to do should be a digital crime.

Being an extremist never felt so much more simple than coming to a closed convention to only hear gaslighting wrapped in political speech style. But most of all, it never felt so right in comparison.
I haven't been able to watch "TV" for almost 15 years because of people like the guy in the letter. He would duct tape me to my chair, prop my eyes open (Clockwork Orange!) and show me ads 24/7 if he had his way! I will go without before I watch another ad. It's all not watchable with all the ads. I love my ad blocker.

20:00 No, email was made free by DoD money, universities money and volunteers that wrote RFC 821. Ads companies turned it into endless spam and oligopoly.
Its not about companies being able to advertise based on interest, its about companies not being able to spy on every aspect of someones life
ALL advertisements are either a scam or something I do not want or rarely something I would get without the ad. How many billions of dollars have ad agencies, Facebook, Twitter, and Google made from known scammers that we report again and again and they still do it?
If adblocking for privacy and security reasons is wrong then I don't want to be right.
What's funny is that they're using valid arguments to defend their position, like preserving a free internet, but then it all crumbles when you remember that these advertising agents will fold over to any big corporation or government if it means getting more money.

I worked in the ad/ad tech industries for years. These beliefs are pervasive among even the non-executive crowd, many of them truly believe ads are a force for good and that we should all love brands. Privacy isn’t a consideration, they all just pretend it’s someone else’s problem. Not everyone in the industry is like this, of course. Many use ad blockers and would qualify as “extremists”. Most of them just like making things you can see on the side of a bus or on TV. Also when the guy says “digital” he means digital ads, aka surveillance capitalism.
I don't remember the last time I have bought something based on advertising. Practically everything I buy is either from researching what I need or someone doing that for me when I have no idea where to start.
The online ad industry destroyed itself with greed. Likely 99.99999% of on like ads are effectively trying to cheat people out of money, mislead, or scam them. Even when they are unimpeded in their tracking, they still show bad ads. For example, if I am looking for 140mm fans with higher RPMs and static pressure to replace the fans on my NH-D15 heatsink, then show me ads for fans that offer more airflow and static pressure than the stock fans. I have tried disabling all ad blocking and all privacy and even with insane amount of tracking, (tons of CPU time spent on tracking scripts), none of the ads had anything to do with 140mm fans. Instead much of it was for scam products and overpriced junk from shady sites offering the junk at higher prices than amazon and Newegg. Aside from that, there is no accountability for ad networks, thus there is no motivation for them to deal with scammers and malvertising. The people in my neighborhood who used to constantly get their systems infected, stopped having those issues when ads were blocked on all of their browsers. If you look at sites like bleeping computer, you will see reports covering boilerplate no apologies from a wide range of major sites when they get caught serving ads that also run a large exploit toolkit and result in tens tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people getting their systems infected with malware that steals their passwords and encrypts their files for ransom. Far fewer people would block ads if the ad companies were treated like how certificate authorities are treated, where a breach of trust, allowing fraudulent or malicious abuse of the system, will often get every major browser and OS maker to blacklist that certificate authority, thus effectively putting them out of business. This forces then to be more proactive in dealing with abuse.

There was once a time when advertising was used to help support the free and open internet. Today content is used to push advertising. Big ad companies have purchased a lot of mainstream websites, or they've created websites like BuzzFeed. They use clickbait articles to push ads. When less than 10% of my screen is content and most of it is advertising and it's full motion video, then you realize the content actually was not really any content. It was just there to get you to click through. That's the problem. They want the max headroom world where having an off switch on a TV was considered illegal.....

Even blizzard sells your info when you play their games, including wow which is a monthly fee. We're long past just paying for stuff. Even if we paid companies would keep selling our info like they are now. Nevermind we can't own software anymore. Even when renting software they are still selling your info.

It should be as simple as "everything you say must not only be true, but also not be likely to mislead the average consumer. If you use USD for your transactions, you must not redefine these terms and abbreviations, except in a context where the average consumer would understand that the new definition is being used and understand that new definition". Particularly egregious examples of hugely prevalent misinformation and actual lies are that products with 0.4999999 grams of trans fat per serving can and are legally advertized in the USA as being "trans-fat free" and having "0 grams of trans fat" (a "serving" being an arbitrary measurement that can be conveniently defined by the producer as whatever size would make their product fall just barely below that 0.5g/serving threshold) - straight-up and highly damaging lies! - and that storage device manufacturers sell me a 14.6 terabyte hard drive when I buy what was advertized as a 16 terabyte hard drive (they do this because rather than using the definition of terabyte that has been used for half a century, they use a new definition that uses 10^2 instead of 2^10. So rather than 16 terabytes being 16 * 2^40 bytes, they use it as if it was 16 * 10^12 bytes, scamming me out of nearly 10% of my purchased storage! Absolutely unacceptable).
