One of my first blog posts in a while, I go over Google’s recent web proposal, and point out exactly why it won’t turn out well. Hope y’all have fun with it.
My personal rule is that I seek out a product/service, not the other way around. And ads really annoy me because they’re not useful, they’re just trying to sell me something, or get me to sell myself (looking at you, TikTok).
Non-obtrusive ads will always be the best :)
Or make them interesting if you want to be the focus. I can definitely say I’ve stayed and watched a few interesting advertisements.
I’d argue your viewpoint here is along the lines of opt-in telemetry - nice in theory, but not practical for the ones that need the information. And you can have respecting telemetry (as you can advertisements, just that nobody does so).
