Can’t sell reams and reams of customer data if you don’t have any customers.

Surely people don’t actually want this, right?

You grossly underestimate how much some people truly love the idea of highly personalized ads. People who believe they are the best possible outcome and cannot fathom why anyone would have any problem with them at all. That’s who you are asking to dogfood this product, and they would and would find no issues with it.
This is really good information, now I know to avoid their browser like the plague.
Oh, time to stop using any perplexity products
Perplexity is a free AI-powered answer engine that provides accurate, trusted, and real-time answers to any question.
That’s not gonna be hard, fortunately.
First time I hear about this actually so…
Srinivas believes that Perplexity’s browser users will be fine with such tracking because the ads should be more relevant to them.
Believes it, or is just spinning it that way?
You could show me an ad for exactly what I want in that moment and I’d immediately not want it any more.
Enough already.
Exactly!

Depends, if it is an ad for an orbital laser that targets marketing executives it might work on me.

But then users use it anyway for some reason. Many people care so little.
Most people are unintelligent sacks of meat, not much critical thought about what they do runs through their minds.
Attention is invisible until you take the time to acknowledge it. People will never treat it as a resource of the same value as these companies, because they don’t even recognize it as something being taken away from them (despite that it is actually the most precious resource - our literal lives), and that disparity will always be profitable.
It is legislation’s work.
Because there is legal precedent that says shareholders come first.
You can blame Dodge for this. Yes, that Dodge.
Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).
I’m really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I’m thinking about shorting the stock, it’s so vastly overvalued, and there’s strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)

Yeah, that’s really the kicker, isn’t it? Legally beholden to the shareholders who demand short term profits forever and ever, risking the loss of long-term customers.
It’s a guaranteed death.
So to ensure that a company is more likely to be customer focused, rather than shareholder focused, it’s likely a good idea to only go for companies not listed on the american stock exchanges?
I mean, that’s my take. Also why you hear a lot of moaning and groaning from enthusiasts when a company who makes well-loved products decides to go public. Enshittification always occurs.
Yup. Same goes for being employed - if they’re publicly traded they’ll almost certainly treat their staff like absolute garbage.
Oh, look, the reason Dodge reliability is garbage.
Real shocker, right? 😂
The selling point is that our product gives you AIDS, for free!
In mean it’s what Google is doing for years now. Not saying it’s good by any means but it’s nothing new anymore.
These fuckers are just so delusional and out of touch with reality. Personalized ads my ass. We’ve been promised those for decades but pretty much all the ads I see on YouTube are from major retail chains with precisely zero relevance to me. They will show the ads of whoever pays for them. Your personal preferences are only relevant when it comes to targeting you with political propaganda.
I don’t fucking want personalized ads no matter how relevant they are to me. I only have so much money to buy stupid materialistic bullshit and once that’s gone all an ad can do is make me want something I can’t have. Ads are just trying to make you discontent.
They just want you to spend more money in a failed attempt to be happier adding complexity to my life when I’d rather just be content with simplicity. And they work really fucking well on my wife. I automatically distrust anything someone is paying money to show me.
A caveman-like idea from a caveman-lookin’ mfer.
I am perplexed at he. Why the hell would I want this?
What a stupid name for a company.
Do all these dickheads go to a school to learn the same specific hand gestures?
Girfters emulating each other
Wow! I’ve always wanted a browser that would track everything about me! /s
Gotta get me some of that.
