AdScam… The Weblog… The Guide…
Readers of Extra About Promoting might or might not know that I’ve written a weblog titled “AdScam” for the final twenty years or so. In it, I level out the occasional good factor taking place within the advert biz, however extra typically or not, I kick the shit out of the multitude of unhealthy issues more and more happening. In the event you test it out, pay specific consideration to Friday’s posts, particularly T.G.I.Ok.M.F. That’s “Thank God It’s Kate Moss Friday.” During which I characteristic footage of Kate from my huge Kate Kollection, as a rule flashing her bare tits.
This will get me banned from Fb for a few weeks, as ZuckerNozzle has a factor about nudity within the Metaverse. Moronic avatars are OK, however no tits and arse. Anyway, sufficient about AdScam the weblog, let’s transfer on to ADSCAM the guide. My good buddy, Bob Hoffman, he of San Francisco advert fame and author of a wonderful weekly weblog, has provide you with yet one more nice guide… It’s titled ADSCAM… Sure, he requested my permission to do the homage, which I gladly gave, in return, asking for a Porsche. This he promptly purchased for me. It’s six inches lengthy and runs on three triple A batteries.
Anyway, the guide kicks the shit out of the tracking-based internet advertising trade which he finds much more corrupt and harmful than ever. Describing it as One among Historical past’s Best Frauds and a Menace to Democracy. Bob peels the scabrous layers of the rotting onion that’s the advert biz at the moment. He does it with such panache that Fu Man Chu would flip envious. Oh, wait a minute, Fu Man Chu is inexperienced. Transferring on… Bob concludes that the tracking-based internet advertising trade is “a prison racket of epic proportions. It’s a big worldwide rip-off — organized crime at a worldwide scale that has been normalized by involving nearly each main company, each pretty-sounding commerce group, and your entire promoting, advertising and marketing, and digital media trade.” Robust stuff certainly. Wrapping issues up, Bob means that we must always ban monitoring on the Web.
Sorry, Bob. It’ll by no means occur. Based mostly on the advert biz’s previous efficiency, it’ll most likely worsen. Time to get again to my Kate Kollection.
