Depends whether that 5 year old lives in Gaza

It’s always those pesky Palestinians doing the slaughtering! For 75 years!

That’s how they’ve been taking more and more land from Israel and they even build a gigantic illegal wall to box those poor Israelis in and stop them being able to leave freely! And with their military backing and funding from giant powerhouses in the west, those poor Israelis don’t stand a chance, it’s about time they fought back and stood up for themselves! They should defend their homes just like Ukraine!

Wait…

And how you’re tracked online. I’ve worked on Google ads accounts every day for a decade and I don’t see you,the user, and your data.

I just click “female, 50+, likes home decor, uses a phone” and then a little business I work with bids 10% extra on you because they think you might be interested in their new autumn wreaths they’re super proud of, and Google think you fit that box I ticked.

And that’s advanced marketing for most businesses. Most businesses won’t even get into the audience side of things and they’ll stick to keywords: they’ll show you an ad because you searched for “autumn home decor” and that’s all.

Google take advantage of most advertisers by saying "let us be in charge of your keywords, and how much money you spend, our AI is smarter than you and you don’t have time!"And most businesses just use the automatic stuff because they don’t understand it, and it’s true, they don’t have time… so then Google takes your “autumn wreath” keyword and shows your ads to someone looking for “Christmas trees”, because they’re both seasons and they’re both plant related, right?

And then the small business gets charged $1 by Google to show their autumnal page to someone who wasn’t interested and left right away.

My job is to help these businesses actually make an advertising account that doesn’t fall for all these little bear traps that Google sets all over their ads interface. They weren’t there 7 years ago, but things have been getting worse and worse. Including third party sales companies like regalix, hired by Google to constantly call you and telling you to trust the automation and spend more.

It’s not prenounced like that in English, it’s pronounced like that in American.

Oh no my $20 for a lifetime purchase of removing ads from an app I’ve enjoyed using for like a decade. 🥱

Ok?

Or is it just a continuation of the usual Google platform. Being used on a Google phone with a Google account.

The free version with ads that pay the developer that everyone’s losing their minds over like they’ve never seen an advert before.

He just put ads in his app mate. He’s not in the CIA

Good job you’re not using an android phone so it doesn’t matter!

It’s his full time job, so his "work work " isn’t free in any capacity either, you either pay with ad revenue or you pay with $20

Lol spyware 🤣🤣

Do you work for free?

The developer worked his ass off to repurpose his app to Lemmy for us.

I was more than happy to pay for his time. Hard work deserves reward. If people aren’t going to pay him and use the free version, which you’re welcome to, then he makes his money from ads (which pay fuck-all)

You’re just a bunch of cheapskates who want to be entertained for nothing.

Is it just:

Step 1) get a tech job in California Step 2) FIRE!
