minus-squarelololalinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up103·1 year agoThis seems to follow a progression No ads Non-intrusive ads Intrusive ads, but you can pay to make them go away Intrusive ads, but you can pay to make them less intrusive Intrusive ads and you have to pay just to see the content Content becomes ads Ads pretend to be content (see Dr. Pepper’s “Fansville”) Award categories for ads are featured in major award ceremonies Award ceremonies just for ads go mainstream Actually not sure what’s real vs hypothetical at this point.

minus-squareBURN@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI’m gonna be real, I prefer fansville style ads over traditional TV commercials.
