Ads are getting smarter and more deceptive.
Advertisements on Quora are indistinguishable from answers for ad blockers.
Advertisements on 9gag are indistinguishable from content for humans.
And then there's the slew of sponsored posts on every other content platform with deceptively small notice that it's sponsored.
Well, some physical newspapers do this too, with advertisements written like news articles.
@njoseph we really seem to have brainwashed ourselves into mode of buy&sell based social interaction. Going forward any technology that is closed and controlled by profit seeking agents will be used to make ppl consume, unless we change our interaction mode to a more humane one.
