We have put the advertisers in charge of our world.
Politicians have to spend on ads to get elected.
Ads pay for almost all of our media.
Advertisers pay the software providers to collect our data and monitor us. They are incentivized to do this because they get a better return on investment that way.
The most successful advertising message ever has been ‘but now, pay later’. This message is channeled through all media. That’s why we are broke and most of us care so little about it.
Advertisers are great a organizing a party, but not so good at sticking to a budget.
Perhaps we should put some other people in charge.
Nostr fixes this!
