Forget privacy: you're terrible at targeting anyway

O post inteiro é ótimo, engraçado e informativo. O estado de anúncios, trackers e sistemas de recomendação é deplorável, se não risível. Alguns destaques:

The state of personalized recommendations is surprisingly terrible. At this point, the top recommendation is always a clickbait rage-creating article about movie stars or whatever Trump did or didn’t do in the last 6 hours. Or if not an article, then a video or documentary. That’s not what I want to read or to watch, but I sometimes get sucked in anyway, and then it’s recommendation apocalypse time, because the algorithm now thinks I like reading about Trump, and now everything is Trump. Never give positive feedback to an AI.

This whole ecosystem is amazing. Let’s look at online news web sites. Why do they load so slowly nowadays? Trackers. No, not ads - trackers. They only have a few ads, which mostly don’t take that long to load. But they have a lot of trackers, because each tracker will pay them a tiny bit of money to be allowed to track each page view.

Trágico, mas cômico 😆
