#advertisers — Public Fediverse posts

Ah yes, the pinnacle of innovation: an #adblocker that swaps out ads for "They Live" slogans. 🤯 Because nothing screams 21st-century tech like living in an 80s sci-fi dystopia. 🚀 I'm sure #advertisers are quaking in their boots. 😂

#OpenAI launched a self-serve #advertising platform, making it easier for a broader set of #advertisers, including smaller businesses, to buy ads on #ChatGPT. The new #AdsManager tool allows businesses to launch and manage campaigns in real time, with options for cost-per-click and cost-per-impression buying. https://www.axios.com/2026/05/05/openai-self-serve-ad-platform?eicker.news #tech #media #news

And just when I was getting used to conforming to the uniform billing period… sigh.

Was I down with UBP?

Yeah, you know me.

The Government Uses Targeted #Advertising to #Track Your Location. Here's What We Need to Do.

We've all had the unsettling experience of seeing an ad online that reveals just how much #advertisers know about our lives. You're right to be disturbed. Those very same online ad systems have been used by the government to warrantlessly track peoples' locations, new reporting has confirmed.

#Google Settles $68 Million Lawsuit Claiming It #Recorded Private #Conversations

the lawsuit claimed #GoogleAssistant would sometimes turn on by mistake -- the phone thinking someone had said its activation phrase when they had not -- and recorded conversations intended to be private. They alleged the recordings were then sent to #advertisers for the purpose of creating targeted #advertising.

Yes, that is so strange… as you & others in this thread comment: “You bought X once, so you must need 10 more of it! Who thought of this?” 🤔
It's so creepy-weird. Why does the algo keep trying to sell us the same thing? As if we are our past? It’s such incredibly lazy programming. Advertizers pay for this? Why? Make it make sense!! 🤔

New reporting by
"The Information" has revealed some recent topics of conversation between #OpenAI employees as they work to supply #advertisers with a teeming new audience to manipulate.

The plans are not final, though they give us a look at what soon may become the norm for #ChatGPT.

One conversation between OpenAI staffers, for example, involved ♦️ giving sponsored chatbot results
“preferential treatment” over non-sponsored results, anonymous employees told The Information

Other internal conversations focused on the best ways to ♦️serve ads without putting off users entirely,
who might feel less inclined to go on hours-long chat benders if they feel corporate advertisers are looking on like a third-wheel.

One ad mockup shared with the publication showed ads only appearing after a second prompt with ChatGPT,
to avoid bombarding users with sponsored content too early in their conversations.

News that OpenAI was experimenting with cramming commercials into ChatGPT came in early December,
after a software sleuth uncovered a dozen lines of code in the chatbot’s beta app for Android referencing things like
🔸“feature ads” and 🔸“search ads carousel.”
