  That’s not even an install. A non-camera/video chat/QR scan app demanding permanent (!) access to the camera is a big No no

  relax, when the industry puts this into practice (not IF but WHEN) they will stick it very slowly in us until we get used to it and don’t even realize that we already accept it quietly without complaining

    Unironically they’re basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you’re intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the “Skip Ad” button.

    Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.

      Maybe it’s because I’m autistic but that has the opposite effect on me. If I see your ad enough to remember the product that just means I’m going to avoid that product like a fuckin plague.

        You’re not immune to advertising and propaganda. Nobody is. Ads almost never work by directly making you think ‘i should buy this’. You’re even less immune to advertising and propaganda if you tell yourself you are, because that’ll make you less interested in working against it.

        Same. If I’m interested or looking for that product, I’ll do my research.

        Just got a new pair of chukkas from a company I’ve never heard of (Thursday) based on research. Not ready to spend $500 for some boots, these were great quality at reasonable price for me.

        Is this an ASD thing? That would make a lot of sense for my own behavior, if so.

        That’s a good way to make some of us dedicate the energy to building and flashing custom firmware.
