Yes, it is a killer of personal information. For sure. And it's all for nothing. The ads that are broadly targeted, striped from cookies data competly are only marginally less effective than ads narrowly targeted. Last people who even rect to ads are dying out out of old age. Digital-ads natives generations are skipping them without even consciously noticing them. All measurable metricks are falling every year. All those facebook and google empires are build on sand. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/does-advertising-actually-work-part-2-digital-ep-441/

Cambringe Analyitica took unrealibke data, and used it in that weay that wouldn't work even if it was relible. It's a campfire story like those "future mother learned that she is pregnant becouse she started reciving the ads of babystrollers"... It makes the impressions that marketers are gods, with access to amazing forces that can influence anyone to do anything. In fact we are only good at two things: explaing why it's a good thing that all your campaigns have negative ROI, and taking credits for things that happen independently to our actions (like seasonal changes in demand).

CA and FB are just as immoral as you supsect. But they are much less competent.

both the uniquness and the scale of the change is debatable. Sentiments shifts trough th3 history preaty regularly.
what's more likely: that the reason for the shift is complex and multifactorial? Or that this unprecedented shift is all orchestrated by handful of man ploting in one room and using mysterious technology that no other replicate despite literally everyone trying... Yet the same people with all that piwrful tools failed to control the media narrative around them. It's harder than shifting the world in the unprecedented way? Its a simple explanation, easy target. It's not supported by the acctual facts.

It's still truth. Even if I fail to convey it.

Would someone who is much more respectable than I am convince you? Or is your mind set.

Can you help me find it? It presents a typical situation like:

I love LOtR (or something else)
what's that?
You never watched LOtR? It's impossible. How could it be? Etc etd
Then it goes through the mathematics of the rate of discovering things through your lifetime to prove that even if something is popular, it's not unreasonable to be discovered by someone new. And it concludes that situation like those should be a moment of joy and excitement that you are witnessing someone discovering new great art.

Sounds familiar? Please help me find it.
