This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
when the objective is profiteering and endless growth
I think that's acceptable if it's not based on datamining and profiling and personalization, but on context, and if ads are honest and not too attention grabbing. yeah advertise your product/service, with its benefits, and do not try to persuade people into paying for garbage
Is making a profit = profiteering? I agree with endless growth. I hate the big data model that assumes large numbers of users, huge churn, low success rate.
The ads I had in mind would be topic-based. If you're on a supplement sub, you see suggestions for a vendor. If you're on a web dev sub, you see VPS vendors. Nothing crass like Betterhelp or Masterworks.
no, what I wanted to mean is wanting to make lots of money just for the sake of it, or to increase value
yeah, exactly, that's not so bad
