Literaly the Ukraine war and western media for the entire year.
I learned something new. I mean not realy of course with the single digit click through rates and all it was obvious since 2005 that the advertising industry was all about chasing the long tail and "conversions" i.e the one idiot boomer that will load one of those 2008 style pages where you can spend $199 and get a worthless "premium" product on a credit card. Realy you can go to the warriors forum and learn how to make one of those too and if the year was 2012 you could probably make a few hundred at least if you pick the right niches.
But on the other hand I didn't really it was this bad for the big corporations too.
:sicko-yes: me rooting for the advertising bubble to pop and take down all of the largest tech companies with it
:sicko-no: me realizing that the company that will best survive that burst and then expand to fill the power vacuum is Amazon
This. The internet isn't going to die. It's going to become infinitely more horrific and unavoidable as capitalists continue toward monopoly.
