It is a fact that ads on the internet no longer work. Ad based revenues are falling, and in 2024 that fall is accelerating. Here is a video from around 8 months ago that makes it clear in a pretty easy way to understand what is happening, what may happen in the future and why. All I can say is that when I have raised these points people rubbish me, but in the first few months of 2024 it is becoming clear that ads no longer work. The only bit of my views and of those in the video that have changed is that ads have become much harder to skip/remove and I posted about how I am seeing piracy return as a way to get round ads before. So have a watch of the video and please try and understand how adverts and declining revenue are ruining to internet right now. I also want to ad that an ad free or at least ad reduced internet would be a far better place than it is now – something that is also touched upon in this video. Please watch it all the way through – it IS worth it!
I have included this on a website about social media as 2024 has seen another large rise in adverts on facebook/twitter/x/tiktok et al and especially on products like amazon prime and netflix as even they are struggling to make money
