We gotta do something about ads today guys. Ad blockers plugin and VPN software are just a band-aid to a cancer that will only get worse when AI starts getting commercialized.
It's not a if and a fkn when.
At every level, ads are plauging the net:
Home: Your smart televisions (enable by default) selling your Netflix/Disney+ searches who also sells your data to brands and advertisor.
City: your ISP and Email Provider and Search Engine reading and selling your emails and web history.
National: Microsoft and Amazon selling your shopping and buying habits.
Not even network-level ad filters, while they will still block ads on your network, that information is still being tethered.
There needs to be a drastic shift in how the net works.
For the past 30 years, we had 3 decades of generations try to bring awareness with little changes.
Internet 2? Web2.0? What should we do to break this shakle?
Will we just find the next bandaid plugin or software (as they milk us the same way) and live with this disease?
Do we need a digital Ghandi who fast from the Internet and it convenances, or a virtual MLK who envisions a web where human data is as physical as flesh and bones, or some Messiah like AI who shows us a different way to communicate without the intentet all together? I watch too much star wars and dune.
Nonetheless, change must happen.
