I loved this, thank you for sharing. I was in this industry when I was young and it was so awful, we basically learned how to brainwash people into buying shit they don’t want or need. Article described it all well. I turned anti-ad for life.
Sadly, most people seem to either enjoy it or not care. I try to do some good as an IT person by teaching about adblockers, but get this: some people want to see ads, yeah I‘m baffled. So it would be a battle to get rid of ads. Neat to hear there is some small progress though.
