When it appeared onscreen, I leaned over to my friend to comment on how the company had clearly paid to stick its ad in the movie. What I didn’t realize was that the movie also got its own ad beamed onto the center screen of every modern BMW vehicle."

  10. Also, this was the first time I've watched a movie on Amazon Prime since they added commercials, and holy crap, does that UX suck balls. I can't believe I have to praise Peacock for how they handle commercials - keep them at the beginning and don't interrupt the fucking movie. It's not like anyone is paying attention to the ads anyways.

  15. The massive discrepancy between the ability of National and all the other parties to spend money on targeted #advertising ahead of elections is something that should be significant concern to anyone interested in #democracy.

    That should be the main story here, not whether those ads are targeted at men or women.

  31. This Tool Unmasks the Shadowy World of #Ads that Track Your #Location

    The #advertising industry is simultaneously everywhere and incredibly difficult to investigate. Ads can power all sorts of surveillance, from the relatively mundane like inferring someone’s age or gender, right up to harvesting their precise location data and selling this to the government. But researching that omnipresent #surveillance is, ironically, an uphill struggle because the relevant data is spread across the web, nestled in obscure files that most people never look at or even know to look for, and can’t be searched all at once.

    A new #research tool called #DecryptAds hopes to change that by bringing together a massive corpus of data. It can show what advertising brokers are operating on a particular website, and, more importantly, many other places those same brokers are operating.

  45. Quirky insights into lost worlds: Ex Libris book plates

    Passionate devotees of books from throughout history share a common thread with all of us modern-day bibiophiles, they longed to celebrate their books and mark their ownership with an Ex Libris book plate.

    Ever since Pharaonic Egypt, marking one’s ownership of a book has been a thing. Ex Libris bookplates showcase the taste, values of their owner, along with how they see themselves. They are a fascinating mirror onto the aesthetic styles and cultural mores of the eras when they were made.

    Ancient pharaohs and their early book plates

    The concept of marking books with ownership dates back to ancient Egypt. Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in the 14th century BC, had an extensive library where each scroll bore a unique identifier/stamp signifying royal possession.

    These early ownership marks, though not bookplates in the modern sense, were the precursors to ex libris, highlighting the timeless human desire to mark ownership and protect literary treasures. This practice reflects the early recognition of books as valuable assets worth safeguarding.

    The dawn of Ex Libris

    The earliest known ex libris bookplates emerged in 15th-century Germany, coinciding with the birth of the Gutenburg printing press and a burgeoning literary culture. One of the earliest known bookplates belonged to Johannes Knabensberg, also known as Igler, around 1480. His design featured a playful hedgehog and an equally playful and cheeky Latin inscription

    “Hanns Igler das dich ein Igel küsst,” translating to “Hanns Igler wishes you to be kissed by a hedgehog”

    This charming illustration encapsulated the essence of early bookplates, showing the personality of the owner and their creative flair.

    These bookplates were often pasted inside the front cover of books, serving as both a practical tool for identification and a blank canvas for personal expression.

    Ex Libris evolution and artistry

    Once the printing press democratised book ownership, books expanded beyond monasteries and exclusive libraries of the nobility.

    Wealthy merchants used them as a mark of their growing prestige and status. Bookplates evolved from symbolising practical ownership to marks into statements of personal taste and social status.

    The rise of humanism and the Renaissance spurred a newfound appreciation for art, prompting book owners to commission renowned artists and engravers to design their bookplates. These designs ranged from intricate heraldic emblems to elaborate illustrations depicting scenes from mythology, nature, or personal interests.

    The artistry involved in creating these bookplates transformed them into collectible treasures, often passed down through generations as family heirlooms.

    Bookplates became a way for individuals to express their intellectual pursuits, values and beliefs, artistic sensibilities, and social roles.

    The bookplate of Charles Dickens, featuring a portrait of himself and elements reflecting his literary works, provides a glimpse into the author’s self-perception and the era he lived in (The British Museum, 2024).

    Charles Dickens’ bookplate

    The extravagant heraldry found in the bookplates of European nobility speaks to the importance of lineage and status in their lives. There is so much history and psychology packed into such small artefacts that a lot of analysis can be undertaken about them.

    A symbol of your love of books

    Since the dawn of civilisation, books have engendered strong feelings of passion and possession. If you have a collection of books that you don’t ever intend on parting with, maybe consider getting a customised book plate that tells your own personal story. There are makers and artists specialising in bookplates on Etsy if you want to check them out, look up customised book plates next time you’re on there.
