You make valid points, and I especially appreciate your extrapolation of technology expectations.
I was working in the yard at Texaco refinery ca. 1975 unloading boxcars of used 55 gal. oil drums in the August heat complaining to an old man about how barbaric this shit was.
He told me two things:
- I should have been there 30 years before when they used mules to do the work while labour trod around in the mud and animal shit/piss.
- If Texaco came up with a better solution, I wouldn't have a job.
Both of his observations apply:
- We want cheap shit.
- We want money.
Here's another prediction for us to consider:
What if all this capitalistic crap collapses and we lose all the nice toys?
We studied the shit out of troubleshooting techniques and then walked into a lab that had a slew of defective radios, caused by tampering by the instructors.
We applied the methods we learned out of class to these "real," situations and discussed successes/failures in pinpointing the defects.
Let's extrapolate P&G's take on digital ad effectiveness and observe that Millennial attention span for them is 5 seconds and try to predict the future on digital ads if this applies across the board.
We know that where there are eyeballs, there is a buying market.
The advertisers know our demographics and buying habits and already target ads, so more information isn't the answer.
What do you think the future of digital ads will be?
London has been the hub of European business since Moby Dick was a minnow.
Brussels, Amsterdam, and Berlin would love to replace London.
Deals are in the works on a compromise to slice the pie.
The UK's (and by proxy London's) support of anti-globalism, nationalism, anti-immigration, will knock the well-lubricated economic flow of monetary exchange down and current out-of-towners will be relocating.
The EU has been handed a great opportunity.
The UK will be stepping off the world stage, and its ally, the US, will not be far behind.

Money.
Next question, please.
These are too easy.
... because the answer is simple:
"We get what we ask for."
That explains CNN, Fox, Hollywood and TV and radio and the movies and shit.
"We have found the enemy and he is us."
Money.
Next question, please.
... ney.
Next question, please.
... after realizing that Trump was bad for business.
What the world needs now is sweet litigation.
I recommended infosec solutions my entire career and business did the risk analysis and said, "No."
Shortly after I retired (not making this up), they got hit with ransomware.
They had enough backup to recover.
Day before yesterday, I was talking to one of the partners at the gym about shit and he mentioned that the firm bought "ransomware insurance."
They need to fire the dickhead who still thinks there are nude photos out there of Anna Kournikova.
What are these jobs providing unlivable wages really worth?
Apparently, some think they are worth taxing.

Then labour will be a worthwhile vocation.
Agree, and I would extend the remarks to include shareholders.
Unfortunately, that's you and me.
We want asymptotic revenue over a time period of nanoseconds.
Help out and leave.
... business.
Pay now for system security, or pay later.
.. a hood.
... for reference, see Paula Deen wherein TOS says (paraphrase):
You fuck with our revenue stream, we'll can your ass.
... make me aware of a chat site I never knew existed?
... in February of 1978.
It was the first in my area.
I wrote articles in Kilobaud Microcomputing and 80 Microcomputing.
I attached an A-D converter to build a temperature probe and a battery tester.
I also wrote a primitive word processor that inverted the normally all-cap keyboard.
It was a great starter kit.
... in this man's Navy, ca. 1968.

Thoughtful.
I think most of us are used to in-line ads for TV. We're getting more and more ads and less content.
Most of the sites I go to are not streaming video, except when I binge YouTube, and my ad-blocker works well there.
A large problem I see is those static sites I visit like news and social media.
I use ad-blockers there, as well, and wouldn't pay attention, even if I did see them.
P&G is essentially saying that they've exploited target ads, but consumers:
1.) Visit brand-inappropriate sites, dragging P&G ads with them
2.) Don't respond to the ads, anyway, because they are ineffective.
Perhaps a new revenue stream paradigm? Subscription?
The prices would have to be very low.
If I paid $5/mo. (US) for the following:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Instagram
- Slashdot
- NYT
- Wapo
- CNN
- Google search
- YouTube
- Etc.
I'm up to $45/mo., right there.
I'd maybe be willing to pay $1/mo.

...more than 60 percent of the nation’s 30,000-plus gun deaths each year are acts of suicide, not accidents or homicidal attacks.

Is there a contract, and precisely where is a copy of that contract?
Who are the signatories?
Without that in hand, your question has no answer.
No.
A person can be registered as a Democrat and never vote.
That makes their party of choice, "which ever party wins."
