They said tits, not twats.
or is this the first sign of the tit for twat economy?
Had my T levels tested recently, and apparently my levels suggest I'm a solid ten years younger than I really am (early 30s). I went to get it checked mainly because of a recent bout of low energy and depression. Turns out it's just a medication adjustment I need, but of course every single social media interface I use was pushing the whole "your T is low, you're not a real man anymore" bullshit on me.
No wonder so many are falling for that. This American style health advertising really did a number on the people.
They won't, because those congresscritters actually pay for the expensive business/first class tickets (from YOUR money), whereas the average people are stuck flying economy, which is simply just isn't worth running in such cases.
It's because people have generally accepted that marketing is a thing, and will be a thing - and that as long as it isn't directly harmful, it can actually be beneficial to the consumer.
Which, to be fair, makes some sense. On one hand you have people who want a service, on the other you have the service that wants to make money. But running that service costs more than people are willing to pay so you bring in a third party who gets to advertise to the people while giving money to the service for this, subsidising costs and making a cheap service possible. It's a win-win-win situation, isn't it?
Well it would be if it wasn't for this damn end stage capitalist constant hypergrowth requirement. Everything has to make a constantly growing profit. If the profit GROWTH isn't higher than last year, your business is crap. So now everyone is milking every last drop of money from every possible angle, leading to more ads, shittier services, and people moving on. Thanks to the greed of the few, the otherwise good thing, or acceptable status quo, is now crap.
Marketing isn't at fault for this, it's just a symptom.
It's actually a bit more complicated.
AdSense indeed used to work through ratios of views and clicks, but Google (and all other ad networks) have been tinkering with it to benefit them even more.
Today, it's about conversion, and conversion as a KPI is not well defined. Clicking into an as might simply not be enough to make it cost more.
This only works when the site, ad network and advertiser are three distinct and separate entities.
Given that pretty much all social media now runs its own advertising systems, it won't actually have much effect. Sure it wastes some money, but given how precise site analytics are, most can actually discern between real clicks and these automated tools.
Not to mention that the whole website for this tool looks like is itself riddled with ads, and also, over 2/3 of all internet traffic happens on mobile devices, which this extension doesn't support.
This. Use their desperation to your benefits.
Demand no probation since you were previously a good employee. Demand higher pay, better benefits et al, hell, a signing bonus and backpay for your unfair dismissal, go as far as you can. Remember, they just realised that they need you more than you need them.
Use that knowledge to your advantage.
That sounds way dirtier than what it is
That sounds way too generic for it to be a proper smut community. Got a link?
