i feel like advertisement should only be allowed once that you’re actually looking for that / a similar product. because otherwise the advertisement is completely irrelevant to you anyways, so why do they show it to you?!?
like if i search for “smartphone charging cable” i can be shown like 50 different brands of smartphone chargers. but if i don’t search for it, why would i know about them? i’m not gonna buy a new smartphone charger anytime soon.
But implementing that would require some sort of adware spyware.
What really irritates me is when I search for something that I’m actually looking for, and at the top of the search results is a whole chain of sponsored ads and they’re freaking all from amazon. I wish there was a way to block certain sponsors from those ad results.
And then I scroll past those and the first couple returned entries are also ads, but these ads are formatted like the rest of the search results so you don’t notice the “ad” banner if you’re not careful.
The reason many of them (a charging brand like anker for example) do this is to get name recognition. If you see their name in 200 sponsors, and a year later you are looking for a charger, you see a familiar name in those 50 brands when you want to buy one, and subconsciously you trust it more than the brands you haven’t heard about.
yeah exactly xD
