@jaredwhite Yes, and a big change is in the balance between deception and trust. With deception getting cheaper and more scalable, the opportunity is building countermeasures—but for now most of the big capital investment is going into the deception side https://rjionline.org/news/the-traffic-and-revenue-crisis-for-news-is-a-symptom-of-big-techs-economy-wide-trust-collapse/ #scamCulture

This may get me kicked out of #Linux fan club, but what if it's not a coincidence that some of the biggest Linux-using companies are also some of the biggest #scamCulture / #enshittification companies?

After reading through the last of the 2024 links from the link gathering script, now I think
1. I agree with @Chronotope about impact of malice by tech billionaires
2. The shift to a #lowTrustSociety is a whole big thing. So many stories of #scamCulture and bottom-up adaptations to it

#Scams know no limits

Using #celebrities to #endorse & participate in schemes hilights a troubling trend in 🇹🇭 #scamculture.. scams gain unwarranted credibility by elevating celebs to executives w'in cos.. when things go wrong, they often distance themselves fr #responsibility.

Just looking at recent Internet news and it looks like #scamCulture is everywhere... https://blog.zgp.org/mlp-2024-09-28/
People are going to have to revisit habit changes that we made in the days of a more honest Internet. "Users don't change defaults" was a useful heuristic in the days of "create more value than you capture" but not so much when growth hacking is the default.

just in case we have a slow news week coming up...anybody doing anything for the 1-year anniversary of the FBI public recommendation to use an ad blocker on search ads?
https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/22/fbi-ad-blocker/
(imho this could have been a real "never waste a crisis" moment for Google—they could have done something on scams like what Bill Gates did with Trustworthy Computing on security. But that didn't happen. Maybe it's harder to weed out #scamCulture at a company than to introduce security culture?)

Hard to understand "Web Environment Integrity" in isolation—it's part of a full stack
* in-browser ad features ("Privacy Sandbox")
* hiding from the advertiser where the ad ran ("Performance Max")
* working with sites that advertisers would not choose to sponsor ("confidential" entries in sellers.json)
Yes, it's a surveillance dystopia, but not as you might imagine them from fiction - more of a #shortTermism and #scamCulture thing. #WebEnvironmentIntegrity

The b2b scam is also pretty simple: sneak a good ad onto a bad site. Easiest way to sell an absolute shitload of ad impressions is show the user an entire pirated movie and refresh the ads every 30 seconds. Straight-up bot impressions are also part of this. The b2b scam is basically find something that no reasonable advertiser would choose to sponsor, and throw a bunch of creepy tracking on it to make the ads on it saleable #scamCulture

this is the problem when a whole industry is so permeated by #scamCulture -- criticism of the scams looks like criticism of the whole thing

just wanted to share some background reading if you're thinking about coming to my talk at #scale20x
imho you can't understand the #surveillanceEconomy without understanding #scamCulture (as explained by Prof. Tressie McMillan Cottom) Helps understand not just what the "privacy harms" are, but also what are the weak points of corporate surveillance

tbh I blame the NIMBYs—if houses in Mountain View were affordable on the salary of an honest occupation, we would have a lot less of this sketchy stuff on the Internet #scamCulture

At first I thought the headline they put on this one was a little too clickbait-ish, but the more I think about how #VLOP business models are interconnected with #scamCulture, the happier I am with it #endSurveillanceCapitalism
