This isn’t an article. It’s an ad.
It’s an old Gawker blog. So yeah, ads are the point.
Who actually sees ads? Between NextDNS or PiHole and ublock origin, I haven’t seen an ad in years.
This is just an ad covered in more ads.
This is a comment complaining about ads.

That hacker known as “4Chan” is at it again!
Any ad marketing people here can say how they themselves feel when targeted by ads. Do you feel like Ah man that’s a good ad, good job whoever made that or do you feel like the rest of us and can’t stand em all .
I’m sad to see so much click bait on this site.
I’m actually trying to be very careful with my data, to the point where I get sidelooks from some people who don’t care at all. Yet I try to still be able to use the services I want to. Like Google Maps. I know that I am selling my data to them. But the service helps me so much in my everyday life that I am willing to pay this price. But also I use AdBlock on all of my devices. So I really don’t care too much about advertising. I’m more concerned about other consequences like, individual pricing, or change of government to a dictatorship which would prosecute me for my beliefs I posted online, or Netflix not fuing finishing the series because they already calculated that they wouldn’t make as much fuing money as they would like to.
So is MementoMori half bot, half human? I’ve blocked bots because they post so many articles of poor quality, but then you have people like this who also posts a lot of low quality posts without any opening comment, but is not marked as a bot and occasionally write some comments.
Anyone wants to take one for the team and spoil the article? I don’t click on clickbait article. I’m curious but fuck this practice.
Your phone doesn’t listen to you, but it builds a fingerprint and uses that fingerprint to serve ads.
It also serves ads for things based on who you’ve been around recently. The example given was the guy’s wife asked for a power drill for her birthday, and then the guy started seeing power drill ads.
This wasn’t because of the conversation, but because his wife had looked up power drills and opened herself up to ads about them. Because the husband had been around the wife, the ad algorithms thought he might be into the same sort of things she is, and so they started serving him ads based on what they think his wife would like.
The article takes issue with this and considers it an invasion of privacy. It’s the same sort of story we’ve seen dozens of times before; John Oliver did it better.
