Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy.
Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.
Feel like the previous subreddit targeting was basically like tv (or at least buying spots on a channel) and the new way is like Google search or (allegedly old) gmail ad targeting
Yeah. That’s probably a bit more accurate. But I think the main difference is context or contextual targeting can be done without knowing any data about the user, browsing history, etc. I think that has to be the compromise for ad targeting if we want to push for more user privacy and less tracking.
