looking pretty gay in that pullover hoodie. thats why you need a bearskin hoodie that makes you look like a real man.
Literal nightmare fuel
nope
Ah yes, that’s what will get me to engage with ads all they needed to do was put my face in them.
Business majors are so fucking stupid.
I was taught none of that during my undergrad. Instead, i say that people who are greedy just happened to get business degrees as a tool to help them be greedy.
Ads are much more likely to be effective on me if they have attractive people in them.
It will engage me to turn it off.
It’s certainly engaged me to never, ever invest in their services. Ever.
Seriously. If I notice the ad, I avoid the product. For example, ads for native and old spice are everywhere on YouTube and super obnoxious so when I need body wash and I hit the store, my fist reaction to seeing those brands is to recall the negative emotions I felt from the last time I had to interact with that brand. So they are spending money to get me to avoid their products.
That’s creepy as fuck and would guarantee I never buy that product.
Not my face. I‘m staying far away from those things. I wonder if generating personalized ads can even be profitable. Seems like a lot of effort to dish out some slop.
It probably depends on how personalized the ads are. It should come as no surprise that targeted ads have been a thing as long as ads have existed. Coke ads during family shows, alcohol ads (you’ll be cool if you use our product) on MTV, etc.
There are already a number of algorithms to deliver one ad for a product over another, based on likely demographics. Streaming has greatly increased this, since specific demographic details are immediately and directly available when the ad is shown. I won’t get the same as on Hulu that you get.
As for generating ads on-the-fly, that seems unlikely. Few ads are fully generated at all, let alone in response to demographics or the specific viewer(s).
There are also risks when deploying ads without vetting. Some of these viewers will be dressed as Nazis, and will happily share the video to everyone.
How long before someone uses this feature to create a feature length porno?
So, ah … yeah.
These remaining DirecTV subscribers are gonna be pissed when AT&T swaps out the dial-tone on their landline for an ad stream.
does at&t still own direc tv?
I don’t know. Maybe not. Last I worked with them they were still Hughes, but the ATT acquisition had been announced.
Fun story… it once took a bit over an hour to get from their building on Imperial Hwy to the passenger terminal at LAX, and you can see LAX out the uber window on the other side of the street the entire ride. Lol.
Most of them are probably boomers and will be dead soon, anyway
If it means they will finally stop fucking voting then good deal all around!
We have zoomers for the nazi vote.
Sadly you might be right
Its like that one Black Ops 2 mission
Salazar: We’re all going to hell, man.
I’m so glad someone on this platform got that reference
I replayed BO2 earlier this year because it takes place in 2025. I was shocked at how close its world is to ours.
If you had told me in like 2013 that, between the Black Ops series and the Modern Warfare series, Black Ops would have the more realistic plot points, I would have called you crazy.
TIL DirecTV is still around.
You misspelled “shove”
Humanity could do many great things in this world with AI. Instead we are coming up with innovative new ways to give you ads. Get me out of this timeline.
Now I have to go re watch old Futurama. Perfection.
OK so that’s the set we shouldn’t buy. OK noted.
This is going to be an absolute nightmare for schizophrenics.
Imagine someone gets back at their ex and puts a dispenser with LSD in it programmed to dispense a bit every like 15 liters poured out of their Samsung Fridge… Which will probably also play adds with your face on it.
was…was this you?
I haven’t heard DirecTV mentioned in such a long time, I’m a little surprised it still exists
