A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Where did I say it was? Different people are allowed to think in different ways, live their lives however they want, and take their decisions on a whim... or not.
Fun fact, I used to work in ad design for some time, pretty sure I know the basics.
I can even tell you a trade secret: when an ad for product A convinces 20% of the people to buy it instead of product B, while the rest buy them at random... the ad is a huge success! Now 60% of people are buying product A, with a market share 50% larger than the competition! It means you can increase markups 200% or more and still have revenue soar even as most people switch to product B.
That video keeps talking about the input (ad watching) effect with a mindless output (product selection) action.
I keep telling you the input effect is irrelevant when the output action is not mindless... none of which has anything to do with whether an ad "works" or not.
