AdScam… The Weblog… The Guide…
Readers of Extra About Promoting could or could not know that I’ve written a weblog titled “AdScam” for the final twenty years or so. In it, I level out the occasional good factor occurring within the advert biz, however extra typically or not, I kick the shit out of the multitude of unhealthy issues more and more going down. If you happen to test it out, pay specific consideration to Friday’s posts, particularly T.G.I.Ok.M.F. That’s “Thank God It’s Kate Moss Friday.” By which I characteristic photos of Kate from my huge Kate Kollection, most of the time flashing her bare tits.
This will get me banned from Fb for a few weeks, as ZuckerNozzle has a factor about nudity within the Metaverse. Moronic avatars are OK, however no tits and arse. Anyway, sufficient about AdScam the weblog, let’s transfer on to ADSCAM the guide. My good good friend, Bob Hoffman, he of San Francisco advert fame and author of a superb weekly weblog, has give you one more nice guide… It’s titled ADSCAM… Sure, he requested my permission to do the homage, which I gladly gave, in return, asking for a Porsche. This he promptly purchased for me. It’s six inches lengthy and runs on three triple A batteries.
Anyway, the guide kicks the shit out of the tracking-based internet marketing trade which he finds much more corrupt and harmful than ever. Describing it as One in every of Historical past’s Biggest Frauds and a Menace to Democracy. Bob peels the scabrous layers of the rotting onion that’s the advert biz at this time. He does it with such panache that Fu Man Chu would flip resentful. Oh, wait a minute, Fu Man Chu is inexperienced. Shifting on… Bob concludes that the tracking-based internet marketing trade is “a legal racket of epic proportions. It’s a large worldwide rip-off — organized crime at a worldwide scale that has been normalized by involving just about each main company, each pretty-sounding commerce group, and the complete promoting, advertising and marketing, and digital media trade.” Sturdy stuff certainly. Wrapping issues up, Bob means that we should always ban monitoring on the Web.
Sorry, Bob. It’ll by no means occur. Primarily based on the advert biz’s previous efficiency, it’ll most likely worsen. Time to get again to my Kate Kollection.
