“Advertising has been a highly successful route for big tech companies such as Google and Meta to monetise their huge online #audiences.”

“[Ad] models come with drawbacks, including the fact they are sensitive to swings in the broader #economic cycle, and that they tend to shift a company’s focus from pleasing their users to their #advertisers.”

"I see #liberal #solutions to the rise of #fascism is still "#vote harder"

"to say #hitler came to power in an #election is also very #misleading, especially for #audiences who don’t live under #parliamentary #systems of #governments. he lost the #presidential #election of ‘32. the #nazi party had won a plurality, but lacked a majority. one of #hitlers opponents in the presidential election, paul von #hindenberg, appointed him the #chancellorship. it was after the reichstag fire that hitler convinced hindenberg to pass #laws curtailing #citizens rights, and which it can be said that hitler had come into his #dictatorial power. not by him being elected as supreme #ruler."
