Well, it seems to be official now. Starting April 14, 2025 Google will update its Unfair advantage policy to say it is allowed to show the same ad, from the same company, going to the same page, as long as the ad is in a different ad location. Google was just experimenting with double serving ads earlier and now it is officially going to be allowed.
The real group getting screwed here are advertisers who used to get free protection against their campaigns running with excessive frequency.
This change lets Google burns their customers ad budgets of a bunch of junk duplicate impressions.
On no the parasite funding this whole circus getting screwed over by a mega corp…
Fuk 'em, they deserve each other.
Deny the Parasite profit 🐸
The people paying for content are the parasites?
I thought it was the monopolist in the middle engaging in rent-seeking behavior like this.
People attempting to inject their shit corporate propaganda into my daily life is in fact a parasite… That I deny engagement daily!
Dude I hate ads too but I recognize that people like you and me who view content but block the way to pay for it, we’re actual parasites on the creatives. Google is just a bigger parasite and exploits both creatives and advertisers.
Who owns teevee shows and movies?
Who owns the music?
Who owns the shit posting on here?
Are these “Creatives” in the room with us right now dear?
Just because you don’t know any artists doesn’t make you cool for ripping them off.
I am not following which artists I am ripping off.
Vast majority of “content” is owned by mega corporations
How am I “hurting” the “artist”?
They already got paid and mega corp owns the IP. You are not making sense here from property law perspective.
If anyone is getting hurt it is the content owner ie perosn who hold the title to property. I am literally do my thing to ensure that corpo never gets paid for this content.
The website owner who pays to keep their site up with ads and write stuff on their site. I read a lot of stuff on small sites so I feel a little bad, but I’m not wasting bandwidth to let them play video ads on a static site.
