Between the Iheartradio fake podcast listeners story, Facebook getting publications to pivot to video with fake data, and now this story about WB HBO max cooking the books… kinda feels like our entire attention economy is built like a ponzi scheme and all this shit is made up— Jacqueline (DJ Horse Jeans) (@Horse_Jeans) September 28, 2022

It is really sad to me that Apple needs to start taking Casino Game Ad Money in order to make their line go up for the shareholders. When Steve introduced iAds and the whole pitch was, "These ads aren't garbage, you'll like these ads." This department shouldn't exist at all, imho https://t.co/VHOeryW5Ro— Cabel (@cabel) October 25, 2022

“I know it’s not as easily quantifiable, but Apple is utterly annihilating brand value, trust and goodwill with these ads. How is the revenue possibly worth it? As a developer, this sucks. As a user, it sucks. As someone who cares about Apple products it’s just profoundly sad.”
