Ticketmaster's personalized AI slop ads are a glimpse at the future of social media advertising, a harbinger of system that Mark Zuckerberg described last week in a Meta earnings call. This future is one where AI is used both for ad targeting and for ad generation; eventually ads are going to be hyperpersonalized to individual users, further siloing the social media experience: "Advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account, and have the AI system basically figure out everything else that’s necessary, including generating video or different types of creative that might resonate with different people that are personalized in different ways, finding who the right customers are,” Zuckerberg said.

I'm not against ads in principle. The advertisers are paying the bill for stuff I consume. Great.
For that effort, they get a chance at my wallet. And to be honest, making me aware of a business or product is indeed a way to get me interested in what they sell. I do prefer the ads to be relevant instead of always useless.
That being said, it's currently preferable to use a blocker and let the people who don't know how to use blockers subsidize my ad-free ways.
Agreed. I literally use an adblocker on youtube videos that are mostly 1 hour+ 80s/90s nostalgia ad compilations set to vaporwave lol
The issue is that advertizing used to have incentive to be compelling, interesting, memorable, or otherwise just leave you with a good feeling/association with the product they were trying to promote.
Now that every slop corporation is under the impression that they have your attention hostage, they feel justified in shoving literal 3-minute long reels of tiktok videos with MLM chicks screeching about how their makeup is "deadass rizz on god". You can beat your ass it's gonna be blocked from my screen lol
