An advertising industry worker's take on adblockers(sh.itjust.works)

Ah, who among us hasn’t been through an “I’m not influenced by propaganda because I know it’s propaganda (even if it’s granularly targeted to my biases)” phase? Many of us never get past it. I hope you manage to.

We’re on Lemmy, formerly of Reddit. We sling propaganda at each other for fun, you think the Moms for America PAC can outdo the constant scrum on the politics subs?

If you think I’m wrong, please offer more than just “(((They))) have all your info and will ‘propaganda’ you, it’s very scary and you’ll never know it’s happening!”

It sounds like fearmongering to me

Price discrimination is a major risk of lack of privacy.

Sorry, what’s your argument here? That you’re immune to propaganda because you’re exposed to so much of it? Maybe that you’re immune to propaganda that you (presumably) disagree with, like Moms for America, because you ingest so much propaganda that matches your existing opinions (political subs/communities)?

What about consumer propaganda (i.e. marketing/advertising)? Do you think your purchasing decisions are influenced by brand awareness and other marketing effects?

Genuinely trying to understand what you’re trying to say here.
