       don't forget that they literally can't prove that digital advertising works. yes it's the engine of the "new economy" and yes it will eventually crack like a shiny beetle's carapace

       @selontheweb as someone who used to work in marketing for a startup (before they fucked me over by putting me in charge of a failing project and then fired me 😃 ) can confirm, this is all absolutely true. my boss straight up told me that there's no proof retargeting (showing people ads for stuff they've looked at before) actually works and yet they kept doing it. we did lots of a/b tests, but only for which version of an ad got more clicks, not for if the ad should be there at all.

       @selontheweb @wxcafe related to this I was fed up with the insurance comparison site spamming me so got them to quote me for a used Audi RS3 (consider that I've not even had my licence a year) - multiple companies had 0 issue with providing an insurance quote and I'd very likely clear the credit check - even though I'd have to eat ramen for the next 5 years (don't worry, I'm not going to buy one but I do see folk half my age driving around in them, presumably via PCP finance agreements

       @selontheweb @wxcafe this is ofc in the UK; but we do have a similar problem with these finance agreements being targeted at younger people in more precarious employment and right at the edge of what they can afford - also once you do get a car there is a metric fuckton of assorted items/services that are constantly marketed to you (some of those are to be fair useful such as tyre inflators, satnavs etc but once you buy one the suppliers seem to think you have an entire fleet of vehicles 😆 )
