'The Future of Advertising is Fewer, Better Ads' (recode.net)
For more than a decade, the online advertising world has been dominated by "display ads," served up to consumers alongside web content, search results or social media posts. But they're not the only game in town, one digital ad exec says. From a report: "I think the advertising world going forward is going to be filled with fewer, better ads," Deep Focus CEO Ian Schafer said on the latest episode of Recode Media. "The display advertising market is going to crater. By giving away stuff for free for so long, we've created an ad economy that is bigger than it should be," he added. Schafer says there's a untapped value in "nonstandard" ads, meaning branded content and other forms of advertising on platforms such as Snapchat, Musical.ly, WeHeartIt and Imgur.
Yeah, sure. I'll believe it when I see it.
If it has to be advertised I don't need it.
The whole industry can be scrapped. Public awareness of brands doesn't matter; that's a board level issue. Telling us McTurd Burger is back doesn't matter. Slobs will see it on the menu.
The public are paying trillions per year to be told about stuff they'd buy anyway. Scrap the fucking lot of it, and let the advert agencies rot.
Hey, go for it man! Add Facebook and Twitter and whatnot to your list while you're at it.
I don't use any of that crap, so that means less ads for me.

The future is media companies going back to having advertising salespeople, and dumping all of these stupid ad networks.

We now return to your Post: "Apple still has way more money than it knows what to do with, and that's OK!"
My adblock current reports having blocked 1.6M ads -- 1.6 million! No one looks at 1.6M ads, they are just clutter.
I loaded my RSS feed yesterday. 1,200 ads blocked from a single use of my RSS reader. No one looks at 1,200 ads from a single use of an RSS feed. These ads are just clutter to be ignored and blocked.
And I truly hate autoroll video ads with sound. Good way to guarantee I will never buy your product.
...“There is a lot of audience that’s spread out on places that are not [Facebook and Google], especially younger audiences,” he said. “As audiences get younger, it’s becoming increasingly harder to reach them where everybody else is able to get reached.”...
That's it. That is all the mention of the recipients (aptly a.k.a, "targets") of the advertising. The advertising industry hasn't a clue what the targets of the advertising want with advertising, nor do they seem to care.
.
The advertising industry seems to think that so long as advertising is presented, it is welcomed. That is wrong, just wrong, on so many levels.
Until the advertising industry fixes that major and fundamental problem with their industry, advertising will be unwelcome.
Personally, my family relies on ads from our local grocers to help us stay on budget. So some ads are okay.
The future of advertising is an endless deluge of paid "countermeasures" (trolls, conspiracy digressions) and synthetic proxy discussions held on open forums by "research groups" and "social media agencies" to seed an authentic sense of community between you and the true red-blooded Texan American from praising God for Donald J. Trump.
Entertainment and information is what people want. Until now, ads invariably did one thing: Interrupt our access to entertainment and information. And guess what: People don't like that.
Your key to getting your ads not only seen but actually associated with something good and something people want is to tie your ads into entertainment and information. Don't interrupt it, accompany it. Red Bull has really understood that. Know that Red Bull Air Race? Some crazy people flying around at breakneck speed and giving the onlookers the thrill of their life. And everyone knows that it's Red Bull that makes this thrill possible. That's cool! That's what people want! And they associate that sugar water with daredevil action and having a good time.
Have you ever seen a Red Bull ad? I haven't in the past 10 years.
So sponsor entertainment! It needn't be something huge, go and see what YouTubers have tons of followers and ponder how you can become part of their show. Note, this is important: DO NOT get them to endorse your product, YOUR PRODUCT has to become part of their show. It has to be part of the "cool". But, and this is also again important, it must not take over the show. Else that Youtuber is considered a sellout and his followers will leave. Your job is to find out how your product fits into his routine and your product must not break his routine, for that's why people are watching him!
If you prefer something more "serious", try to sponsor something closer to documentaries. That is a mostly uncharted land and I really wonder why. Because people doing serious documentaries are usually considered credible and trustworthy by their viewers, so why not use them for your product? Again, the product has to match the person, the style and the documentary (it's kinda pointless to have an archaeologist drink a cup of coffee from fine porcelain on a digging site, but he could hold a cup whenever he's talking to the camera and take a sip whenever he's in the picture but not talking while showing some ruins or something). And again, subtlety is key. People love finding stuff out themselves. Let them! Maybe even make it some sort of game.
That's where you can thrive. And people will actually love you and your product for it instead of considering you an invasive nuisance. Because yes, you can force us to endure your ads. But you cannot make us watch. And you cannot force us to like something that we consider obnoxious and invasive because it interrupts what we're looking for: Entertainment and Information. Become part of that entertainment and information and we'll actually love you. And your product.
And we buy what we love.

When it comes to adds there is going to be many different interpretations of the word "better" depending on who you are.
Where ads are concerned, I suspect my definition of better will have nothing in common with the definition used by someone whose work is in any way related to advertising.
While at it: can someone help me how to block the crap /. is loading into the articles?
class="fhitem fhitem-story article usermode thumbs grid_24 ntv-sponsored-658 currfh"
This is the last piece of crap I would like to block on this site
There's a legitimate business case (albeit with super creepy privacy implications) of having "better" ads, i.e. ads that are more relevant and targeted to the recipients interests and needs. People respond more to better ads.
It's much more questionable to build a case for FEWER ads. Advertisers talk about contact and "building engagement." You accomplish that through more interaction, not less. While in theory there's a notion of "advertisement fatigue" by people just ignoring everything, this is much more a "tragedy of the commons" situation - while we might agree overall that people will respond better if they see fewer advertisements, there's no incentive for any one specific advertiser to dial back their contacts so that OTHER advertisers will reap the rewards of lower advertisement fatigue.
The advertisements of the future will be "better," significantly creepier, and no less numerous than they are right now.
The advertising industry seems to think that so long as advertising is presented, it is welcomed.
The advertising industry thinks that so long as they get paid, all is well.
Businesses need to wake up, they're being scammed by the sellers of advertising space
As long as those advertising clowns believe that advertising is going to earn a them an extra few, clueless customers, advertising will be staying. That is a good thing for those of us who use ad blockers - we won't see their stupid ads, but those stupid ads will carry on paying for things. Since there will always be clueless customers, and since the advertising clowns will always have the suspicion that advertising captures such morons, advertising will stay. And we won't see the ads. Things are good.
they fo as far as they can aggressively. look at cable tv that you pay for and all the ad on there every 10 to 15 minutes for a few minutes.
Mossberg: Lousy ads are ruining the online experience:
Last Saturday, as the New England Patriots were sloppily beating the Houston Texans 34–16 in a playoff game, I wanted to look at the highlight video of a play using the NFL app on my iPad. To watch that 14-second clip, I had to suffer through a 30-second ad for something so irrelevant to me that I can’t even recall what it was.
...
But the world has changed as journalism and entertainment have been disrupted by technology. Great power has shifted to the advertisers. I learned this almost immediately after I left the Journal in 2013 and co-founded Recode on January 2nd, 2014.
About a week after our launch, I was seated at a dinner next to a major advertising executive. He complimented me on our new site’s quality and on that of a predecessor site we had created and run, AllThingsD.com. I asked him if that meant he’d be placing ads on our fledgling site. He said yes, he’d do that for a little while. And then, after the cookies he placed on Recode helped him to track our desirable audience around the web, his agency would begin removing the ads and placing them on cheaper sites our readers also happened to visit. In other words, our quality journalism was, to him, nothing more than a lead generator for target-rich readers, and would ultimately benefit sites that might care less about quality.
Yes, this advertiser was bold (no, balled) enough to basically tell Mossberg he will screw him over, and he would not be able to do anything against it, because the only way to oppose him was to get no money at all. As long as they have this power, they will give you more and worse ads. Period.
And this is your fault - because you felt entitled to get everything for free.
Of course news about a fake are Fake News.
AC, I think your HOSTS file should contain this:
*.*.*.*
Then you won't have to worry ever again.
What ads? We don't see them since our generation has always been using ad-block and will continue to do so. Heck, I even run my own Pi-Hole so I don't have to use software on devices that don't support ad-block. Yes, these devices will become consumer devices (available at your local BestBuy) as well - and will only increase in popularity as people realize how fleeced their internet data has become. If you want me to buy something make a memorable experience around your product or create positive reviews. That is all. See you never, Ads.
Is stringing up those bastards who decided to combine "force ads into every bit of content even if it's many times the size of the content" with "and now more bandwidth caps to charge them with", and leaving the hundreds of thousands of them across the world hanging from the trees as a warning to all the other trees.
Joe Bob Briggs had it locked for movie quality . For quality ads, I say skip the bodies and beasts.

See, the reason why I use adblocking software isn't because I hate ads, it is because I hate the flood of SUPER annoying ads that are presented to me by so many websites. If the ads displayed were not so annoying, and weren't so plentiful, I would totally support giving ad revenue to the sites I visit.
in a adblocked world is less but embedded ads. when you login to sites that account can be tied to meta data what you look at time you spend and profiles of common catagories based on that. in this there could also be shared meta data with accounts that you tie together like when sharing to facebook from another service and the like.

1. Do not serve malware. Ever. No matter what it takes. If you have to have an actual human being (who isn't a moron) personally review every single ad every single time it is served to prevent malware, that is what you have to do. If you cannot achieve this, close your doors and get a real job.
2. Do not serve ads that contain so much a) animation or b) scripting that they slow down the browser to the point it is unusable. Or that it crashes. Ever. If you cannot achieve this, close your doors and get a real job.
3. Do no serve ads that use more bandwidth than the web page they're embedded in by two or three orders of magnitude. Ever. If you cannot achieve this, close your doors and get a real job.
4. Do not serve popup or popunder ads, or ads that load any additional windows of any kind. Ever. If you cannot achieve this, close your doors and get a real job.
5. Do no serve ads that float on top of content, and do no rescale when I zoom in my browser because the web designer doesn't believe in using integer values for font sizes. It makes it literally impossible to read the content. Just do not do this. Ever. If you cannot achieve this, close your doors and get a real job.
6. Do no serve ads that cover more than 25% of the screen that is visible when the page initially loads. Ever. If you cannot achieve this, close your doors and get a real job.
7. Stop blaming your victims when you can't make a living because you refuse to do any, much less all, of these things. It is your fault you can't make your boat payment, because you are stupid, dishonest, and lazy. You deserve to live in a cardboard box, and have no choice but to eat your own home for food.

So... ads have been around since... 2007? Eh? Not even TWO decades (1997) would be sufficient... Idiots.
Create the next SnapWhat'sInstaTwitFace, make it free so it becomes popular, then profit on all the ads. Media advertising in the US is around $200B. How many unicorns can fit in that corral?
Used to, I absolutely hated commercials; I still do to a large degree. However, many advertisers are getting better, and there are, actually, some commercials that I enjoy watching.
problem with hosts is it can not try to restructure page and it gets really big and can really slow down if used that way.
Disable the slow usermode clientside dnscache service in windows & it's fine. This is a widely known fix for the busted with large hosts files windows issue there (Linux has no such issue mind you).
* E.G.- I run a hostsfile on Windows 7 here (last decent windows version) that has LITERALLY 4,137,290++ entries in it (50 hardcoded favorites sites of mine @ top of hosts for FAST local resolution of those sites where I spend most time vs. slower remote to DNS resolutions turnaround time, & it also protects me vs. DNS issues like the Kaminsky redirect flaw OR dns being downed - REST of my entries are blocked ads & known bad sites/servers w/ malware etc.) - I fly this way, faster & more efficiently!

P.S.=> Doing so saves cpu, ram & other forms of I/O wasted on that slow busted junkpile of a poorly designed fixed-length buffer structure service (disservice, lol) too... apk

i stoped using adblocker when they didthat proxy's and posibly no scripts(noscipt does other good things too).
there are list to use too and you can use more than one plus any customs easy list's arepretty good. you will need a browser that embeds the adblocker lists or a addon that lets you customize it.
I'm not a grammar or spelling perfectionist. You are welcome to continue to mangle words and sentences in any manner you like. But, you must be prepared to accept that if you can't be bothered to at least make an effort to properly structure a sentence I won't be bothered to grant your comment any credibility.

Wow, I must be years ahead of the advertisers because I dont see any ads at all.
Combine a really big hosts file with ghostery and adblock + and they are gone baby gone.
Sites that block me because I run an ad blocker, fine by me, I go elsewhere, I shop elsewhere.
Hosts can do gazzilion things a proper firewall can do.
I agree that there's too much advertising, but why would anyone cut down?
Bandwidth is cheep, serving an ad costs almost nothing.
If it's costs $0.0000001, the ad doesn't have to be very effective to be cost effective.
Sure, everyone will complain, and even the advertisers will agree that the world would be better served with fewer adds.
But they'll still want to advertise just a bit more than their competitors...
No matter what, the old saying will still be true: "I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted. I just don't know which half."

AdBlock's SLOWER: http://superuser.com/questions...
Sites that request to be white-listed in my ad blocker, or that won't let me see content without white-listing or disabling my ad blocker, never get visited again
Let's say you do a web search, and you open several relevant-appearing results in the first page only to discover that most have only a paragraph of text at most followed by "Whitelist us or buy a month's subscription". If this becomes the new normal for more and more web search queries, what do you plan to do? Do you instead buy a month's subscription to read one article?
And I "cut the cord" years ago, dropping ad-infested cable TV for streaming services that not only cost literally 1/10th of what cable TV costs today, but have no ads.
Let me guess: no sports fans in your household, and the cable company serving your city is one of the few that doesn't toss in basic TV at no additional charge.
If there are new, innovative, worthwhile products out there, I will find out about them eventually.
From whom will you "find out about them eventually"? And as for the product or service whose sales pay the wages that keep a roof over your head and pay for the streaming services to which you subscribe, how do people who bought that product or service "find out about them eventually"?

In fact, that's how I know it's been ten years. The Red Bull ads seem to have stopped once people switched from making toilet jokes about the name of a game console that Nintendo released around then to making "Red Bull gives you Wii-ngs" jokes. Either that or Red Bull's maker thought viewers of the channels that members of my household watch had aged out of Red Bull's demographic.

My experience is that the advertising industry has inserted itself into the relationship between the customer and the supplier. Coming from a rural community, this was what I saw. My parents and grandparents were farmers. They didn't buy anything until they *needed* it. I can't emphasize the word *needed* enough. We were not flush with cash so many times we just made do with what we had.
On the rare occasion one of us would actually intend to purchase something, we would go to the local feed store or grocery store and ask questions of the owners or the other customers. Back in those days, that's how it worked. There was such a thing as a community. People who lived and worked close together. They also had the tendency to look out for one another and help one another. So that's where you got your product info. Not from some "jacked up" "insanely enthusiastic" huckster. These neighbors and store owners were the early version of Consumers' Reports." If a product was good, you found out about it. And once you found out about it you... and this is KEY... looked for it because *you were interested* in it. You didn't buy it because some person on amphetamines was pitching it.
Okay, sorry for the rant, but the point is there has to be a desire for a product before the chance of a purchase exists. Just because a manufacturer decides to flood the freakin" society in every conceivable form and fashion with their exaggerated claims and "in your face" effects does not mean their product will sell any more.
So here's my advice to manufacturers. Make a good product and sell it at a reasonable price. You'll probably find that people will buy it and like it and you'll develop a reputation for having a good product at a reasonable price. Then tell the advertising hucksters to go pack sand. If you have a good marketing department you won't need much advertising. And if your product/service is good, you won't need to lie your ass off to sell it.
So AFAIC, you advertising people and just STFU. If and when I want your product and if I find out it's worthwhile, I'll come looking for it.

Advertisers who choose quality over lowest common denominator? Never going to happen. If that industry had any ... and I mean any ... ethics, there would not be late night ads for copper pots on TV. Or anywhere. There would be no way to get fake Viagra; you'd have to get the real thing from a real pharmacy with a real prescription from a real doctor. And the web would not have driven people into ad blockers in the first place.
Let's not forget, Hosts files have been around for ... I don't even remember when I installed one for the first time, but it was around the time you could get broadband instead of dialup for the first time. So let's say 25 years. Probably longer, but I can only talk of my own experience.
Yet, few people actually installed them. It was the banal drivel wallpapering every website on the planet that drove ordinary people to seek out simple browser add-ons that kill ads. And it was the demand for those plugins that got developers to build them in the first place. The industry has no-one to blame but themselves.
And now we get this "it wasn't us, it was the other guy" plea from them to please let them serve us ads. Pretty please. We're sorry.
Well, they're sorry all right, but not in the meaning they intended.
Then see Google's cache
Google doesn't publicly cache noarchive articles.
if the paywall blocked Google, it wouldn't pop up in the search in the first place.
When the publisher of a paywalled article provides an abstract of a few sentences to visitors and search engines, the abstract gets indexed. Journals in Google Scholar even get to "cloak", or send the full text to Googlebot but only the abstract to anonymous visitors. These sites sometimes pop up in general search without the cache option.

I didn't RTFA but I'm thinking it's an oxymoron to expect less advertisement in the future.

I'm ok with ads if (in order I thought of them):
1) Static - no video, no moving banners
2) Silent - no audio
3) Fixed - no pop up/out/under/over
4) No scripting
5) Reasonable in number - a top and bottom advert is ok. One per screen is ok. 10 down each side is not.
6) Limited in size - A nice standard banner size, no half page rubbish.
normally i would post this link...

A few years ago I used to visit Gametrailers.com daily.
One day I started viewing a trailer and I got a message that I must disable my ad blocker to continue viewing.
I'm fucking actively seeking out ads on my own volition and you're trying to waste my time with other ads I'm not interested in?
I stopped visiting that site then.
A few weeks ago I decided to check out what it looks like now, and apparently it redirects to a Youtube channel, I guess they couldn't make enough money pushing all those extra ads to maintain a site.
I would rather see off target adds, because I don't want you stalking me to try to pitch me the "right" product. Spend less money on the advertising world...make products cheaper and better.
Really, APK? Seriously, cease and desist these criminal activities, APK. You already know you are in violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and your persistence in this is involving us in your criminal acitivies along with damaging Slashdot as they constantly make the lameness filter more overbearing to deal with your spam.
Change is certain; progress is not obligatory.

The entire advertising industry has no morals, no ethics, and adds literally zero net value to the consumer.
They're universally a pack of despicable lowlives who suck the joy out of life for others.
Over the course of time they have demonstrated the ONLY good they could ever do for society is to DIE A HORRIBLE AND MESSY DEATH.
Seriously, if there WAS no advertising industry AT ALL, the world would be a significantly better place.
Die, die die, go away, get lost, stop pushing your crap in my face! I'm sick of the very thought of your incessant bullshit, die!
Have you gotten MY message yet?
Visit CryptoGnome in his home.
Taken to it's logical conclusion, a single really quite good ad which everyone sees once and then gets on with their life.
I'm in.
Requiem for the American Dream
When given a choice between a great ad that costs money and a shitty ad that can be had on the cheap, it will ALWAYS be the latter.
Clearly the article author doesn't have a fucking clue about economics or his own industry - just making shit up.

Who cares about advertisers on the faucets websites?
People who use faucets care because the lack of topic makes it take longer to build enough credit for a single page view.
An advertiser on a site with a topic can assume that its readers are interested in the topic of said site. Therefore, an advertiser is willing to pay more on a site whose topic is related to what the advertiser sells than it would on a completely topicless site, making a faucet's inventory less valuable in revenue per page view. This means faucet users have to view several pages to earn an amount of cryptocurrency with a value equal to what an advertiser on a site with a topic would pay for a single page view.
