An open-source, federated, and privacy-protecting alternative to the dominant advertising services. Something that gives the individual web user full control of which ads they see; from which indies, organizations, companies or any other groups. And where they can also filter ads based on clear categories, values, or tags, rather than everything being dictated by algorithms and “relevancy”.
I actually didn’t think about it much, because I block all ads. But consumerism can be fun, I wouldn’t mind ads if I had a say in which I see.
Weird how neolibs are proponents of the free market all the time, but at the same time insist on shoving crap we don’t want down our throats. I like your suggestion.
I would like a browser addon that drops poisoned data when surfing the web. Instead of trying to restrict how much of my data gets collected, spread useless data across their sites.
Adnauseum does this. I think it simulates clicks to ads and corrupts your advertising profile.
As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile
I don’t get it though. The “listeners” could detect this and subtract 1 click from everything in the page. I guess that would only happen once ad nauseum gets popular.
