Why, after all the algorithms, all the scientists, the years of research into shoving ads into our eyeballs, all the ways to get you to buy a product, in the green living hell has there not been an algorithm for "this guy has never clicked on an ad, he's always clicked on skip, maybe we should just leave him alone" and then stop inundating that guy with ads?

@mcfate no but like what I'm saying is that's a waste of resources. They would save a ton of money. Who doesn't like saving?

@dr_zooks

You think it costs them anything to push an ad to you in particular? On an individual level, it doesn't even qualify as statistical noise.

You want them to incur costs to NOT push ads to you, based on both tracking and analyzing your past behavior WITH RESPECT TO THE ADS THEMSELVES.

They'd have to spend a ton and a half of money to implement this scheme, and I don't think they'd make their investment back in any reasonable time.

@dr_zooks: If they did that, advertisers wouldn't bother buying nearly as many ads. Their view, as has been for centuries in business, nobody's ever not a potential buyer; it's only not the right time.

@thedisasterautist ugh, I know, the entire financial industry is based on pretend money anyway. They bet money on how much they think a company will make in the future, like wtf is that about 🤣😂

@thedisasterautist @dr_zooks sounds like the JW and LDS folks when I asked to be black listed from their lists. They won’t because I might change my mind… 😩
