I really hope it works out as smoothly as this, it feels like advertising sneaks it’s way in somehow though. 😣
It's not and I'm Lovin' It. The Fediverse I mean. Want to defederate from corporate ads? Just Do It. Have It Your Way and Make Every Second Count.
Really, you just need to Think Different.
Where is c/angryupvote
This is the most beautifully crafted comment I’ve read all day. Bravo!
I haven’t seen any ads thus far on lemmy and it’s pretty great.
I’m more worried about the advertisers sneaking in through “bragging” about products, like Reddit saw. 😣
Bragging? I’m not familiar with this. What does that mean in terms of advertising?
It's a form of guerrilla advertising where they play on FOMO and try to make people jealous of someone who is "loving" the product. It's one of the harder forms of shilling to detect because it can sound just like a regular person who actually does enjoy a specific product.
Exactly this. It’s made me a pessimist online, and offline.
I’ll admiit, bragging wasn’t the right word, but I meant all the PR teams the enshittify social media like fleas, by pretending to be a run of the mill user, attempting to build hype.
Oh I get what you mean.
Yeah I tried to google what a good free VPN was and all the Reddit posts were OBVIOUS plants by VPNs that wanted you to pay for them.
I found a free one eventually but Reddit was no help.
Exactly, with SEO it’s like wading through a septic tank these days.
Not to sound like an idiot but I don’t know what SEO is either.
Sorry, Search Engine Optimization. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization
Ruined Google search results, now it’s mostly spam.
Oh yeah. It’s annoying as fuck. Every service we used to take for granted is just becoming a big add.
My man, have you met our lord and saviour hypnotoad?
⚡️😵💫⚡️
So all the Sync posts aren't ads in disguise?
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I haven't seen a pop up or a banner ad; but I've seen plenty of ads in the form of a creator trying to sell their creation and other shill stuff. Not nearly as often as on Reddit, but it's not something you can escape from on social media.
I’m fine with that. I just don’t want to be reminded that hellofresh exists every five minutes.
I don’t know what a sync post is either man haha
