welcome to paris. we have ceded parts of our city to the feral dogs, and people will try to physically attack you specifically in real time combat. this is what a redevelopment plan looks like

the thing about adblock detection stuff is that for popular websites where the demand exists for an adblock it's such a losing battle. best case scenario for the corporation is that the adblock will be broken for maybe a week before someone circumvents it again and adds that to the public blocklist. there is no adblock detection method that's immune to the adblocker just lying to the website

There's something really interesting about the battle of forcing people to not use adblock, because even trying it is shooting yourself in the foot.

If, like me, you are an avid adblocker, you will NEVER under ANY circumstances click on an ad, even if for some reason you are forced to see them. It's simply never going to happen.

What makes ads valuable is their clickthrough rate. If a site can be like "Hey, we have done research and 1% of our users click these ads" then the advertisers can see that and know there is some value in buying the ad.

If Youtube suddenly goes "No more using adblock on YouTube" what do you think is going to happen? A bunch of people who would never click on ads in the first place, therefore a worthless demographic, will see the ads, view go up but clicks don't, clickthrough rate drops through the floor, and the sites ads lose their value.

Tl;Dr not only is forcing people not to use adblock pointless and easy to bypass, but even if it worked companies would lose money doing it.

Matt Damon explains why they don’t make movies like they used to. Pls watch.

This is actually a really good perspective and explains why the MCU is the way it is. It is essentially one-off entertainment without the backup of DVD sales (of course Disney being Disney it is still backed up by massive merchandise and spin off sales). The movie is designed to be “disposable”. The rewatch value is low because it’s not intended to be sold on DVD for people to treasure and rewatch every year at Christmas (or whenever) with family. The idea is to generate hype, through manufacturing controversy or teases or gossip. Keeping spoilers under wrap is integral because the rewatch value is negligible. It hinges on surprise or shock (or wtf value) to entice audiences to give up their money to see it in theatres. It is about spectacle, about being loud and colourful and busy, so that for the first 30 minutes after you walk out your senses are still buzzing and you feel like that was worth your $30 or however much. It takes a while for your brain to come back online after the sensory overload to then try to pick apart the plot, and by that stage it doesn’t matter, you’ve already hyped it up to your friends.

And the story or characterisation doesn’t matter because no one is watching that again to care.
