People have been talking about an ad inflation.
Showing one person 500 ads is just not going to make them buy 500 products. Out of all the ads a person sees, they'll maybe buy one product which they wouldn't buy anyways. And the value of that one product is the value those 500 ads have to share between each other.
So, individual sites showing more ads just means they get a bigger slice of that cake. Until the other sites increase how many ads they shove into our faces, too.
It ends up being an arms race and everyone loses.
Did ad-based internet even stand a chance?
The early internet curbtailed it because it started off over-intrusive even creeping into Windows system alerts. Even now ads have the stigma of being riddled with performance issues and malware. Are they even priced anywhere close to what cable TV ads are priced?
Google and Facebook were both built on ad-based internet. So...until privacy is respected, cookies go away, and more importantly, people did not buy things based on ads, yeah ad-based internet stands a chance. I did a quick search on how big the digital advertising market is and there are various numbers being reported m. I'll give you the lowest one—$~200 billion
I feel like immune to adds, i just don't see them.
Advertising is the only industry where it's collectively accepted that we pay protection money to not see the product.
