It is *quite* funny to me that people are at all shocked or surprised about ads being rolled out on Threads or Netflix or whatever. It's only going one way. Increased profit for the shareholders. Noone is rolling back on commercial advertising. There'll be adverts in your soup next. Your sink. Your toilet. Hello I am your toilet roll and I have some great news about deals *muffled noises* for you!

@TheBreadmonkey daily disposable contact lenses with adverts
And cereal...
Alpha-bits - could randomly present you ads...
But in the future - they will have nano intelligence to arrange themselves on purpose.
🤪
@TheBreadmonkey I laugh, as I watch the news at the gas pump.
@TheBreadmonkey Advertising is a sure sign of an immature species. We haven't matured yet.
I saw a photo of a Chinese public toilet loo roll holder. The holder had a QR code on it with a message to scan for an advert before it'd dish out paper. Lots of people may be carrying loo rolls around with them in the future!

>Didn't you have advertising in the 20th century?
>Well, sure! But not in our dreams; only on tv and radio. and in magazines... and movies. and at ball games, on buses, milk cartons and t-shirts and bananas, and written on the sky - but *not* in dreams!

@TheBreadmonkey Im hoping my #Pi-hole will block Netflix ads, if not I'll cancel the subscription.
I think the only way most of us will afford to live is to rent out our bodies/minds for advertising, possibly wearing clothing which works as a billboard or maybe a watch type device which monitors if we've worn & watched ads for x hours minimum daily, or given personal recommendations. 😐 Like those sites where people are scammed into doing surveys and uploading receipts, giving away their personal info and getting almost nothing in return.
@TheBreadmonkey
I look forward to the day when my can of alphabetti spaghetti spells out "eat more beans" when I tip it into the pan.
@TheBreadmonkey I think the frequency of them is only going to increase. I bet it won't be long until there'll be ads inserted into what you're watching after every word.
@TheBreadmonkey You're talking about the enshitification of toilet paper, aren't you?
@TheBreadmonkey @Devonkiwi yeah with the little “waffle” or “quilting” printed on it like we will be fooled
@TheBreadmonkey My toilet rolls come with QR codes once you hit the end of the paper and I'm too scared to scan them in...
@TheBreadmonkey Spaceballs the toilet paper
@TheBreadmonkey Advertising is propaganda to increase shareholder value. It always has been.
@TheBreadmonkey Wait until the meat starts screaming.
