    If a scientist group figured out that overexposition to ads decreases the efficiency (zoning out) you think the market would deflate?

      ad agencies would start sell their ads as “non-tiring” or whether bullshit marketing term they come up with and nothing else would change.

        Meaning current ad market in IT is a bubble? Possibly driven by dominant Google?

      It’s a prisoner dilemma situation. It doesn’t matter how effective the ads are on an absolute scale, but a relative one. The aim is to get more facetime than your competition. Unfortunately, any company that opts out gets flattened.

      Incidentally, this is why tobacco companies loved the ad ban (at least in the UK). It had long reached the point where they couldn’t encourage many people to smoke. They were advertising to cancel out the poaching of customers by other brands.

        So the only way out would be legal pressure? Now how to get there?

      Just need to find a more intrusive way, and keep innovating ahead of the competition

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      No, not at all. Sure the rich want to be richer, but hurting the poor is a goal in and of itself in our world.
