All this.. all this multi billion dollar development, all those 'brains', all the time and space a tech company occupies in it's lifetime... just to force you to watch ads?
What a shitty society and what a shitty communication system we have, just because some morons want to earn some billions more...
There is no endgame when it comes to greed, those pricks will always want more.
I feel it's worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.
Yeah, the brightest minds of recent generations are figuring out how to get people to watch ads. We probably could have had fusion energy by now, but instead have ads.
But think of the investors! How can we give them month-after-month gains without forcing ad's down our user's throats? /s
It's more about doing what investors think will give them gains, so that they keep investing, don't quit, and don't press out the people in charge of the company.
Dunno why I have this association, but when directors of Apple pressed out Jobs, Apple's stuff in the following decade was rather cool. I just played with MacOS 9 a bit, with its classical software like Hotline, and it really had a "culture" and an "ecosystem", and not what Apple's ads after 2000 tell you, but these seem to have been real.
Ain’t no short term profits in a fusion generator
