A parody I believe - but just like with satire - I have this nervous feeling that parody might not be able to keep up with reality.

Once more everybody is jumping up and down over ads. Once more to remind that ads do make (a few aspects of) the world go round.

But

If I am paying you to use your product … I do not want you to put ads in that product.

The ad isn’t the real problem .. it’s the tracking. My ‘ad blocker’ doesn’t block ads .. it blocks the ability for the advertiser to track me. Why do we still not understand this?

If I want you to provide your service without tracking and/or ads … then you should … of course … recognising that to do that costs money … so I would expect to pay a fee for that. But nobody really offers that.

I am unsure if they are connected - so parking this here while we think. There is also something going on with the Argentinian playbook - which I am planning to publish in a newsletter. I am no expert - but my spidey senses are up … Bitcoin, Argentina, El Salvador .. OR, it’s all summarized thus …. Bitcoin El Salvador introduced bitcoin as legal tender in 2021 and then - as now - one Tim Draper has oft’ spoken breathlessly of how cool it is that a sovereign nation has adopted it.

🚧 💬 Quotes. I collect them, so maybe a ‘collection’ application?

And like all living, breathing things … it might die.
