When I see an ad to that, I download it on an old device, then uninstall it and give it a 2 star review.
I like how they expertly hide the fact that it’s nazi propaganda and the photos are like “uh, here’s some pictures of plants! It’s uh, people share uh, gardening tips yeah!”
“….without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.”
Isn’t discrimination like, the entire purpose of what Truth Social is about?
Shhh… They don’t want their feelings hurt.
They should be taken down for false advertisement etc. You don’t get to claim not to discriminate on political ideology if you also censor and delist posts that you disagree with.
The democrats lacked the tenacity to ever have done it, and the criminal enterprise that currently infest our government would never cease the hardworking blowhards that fervently feed their wind-tunnel.
Americas big tent
Aurora rules. (and doesn’t track you)
If only someone finally forced iOS to be open for other stores
In stead of “ad free photo sharing” you get “photo free ad sharing”
Also truth free.
Why would you want what you searched for when instead you could have ads and fascist propaganda?
This is top level enshittification. You’re showing the user an ad that is, as OP says, the opposite of what they want, and then charging Truth Social for the impression. Magnificent!
‘Targeted advertising’ is shockingly untargeted. As the underpinning of our digital economy, the value of online advertising is dangerously overinflated.
Could you imagine the carnage in tech stocks if corporations realized ads are dogshit?
The only time I ever click on an ad for anything is because I want to see exactly how much they are charging for whatever clearly ridiculous thing they’re advertising. Meaning I was never planning on buying it. Thankfully, that is rare.
I occasionally buy tools, and damn right I research them until I know they’re “buy it for life” quality
Then I spend the next few weeks getting bombarded by ads for a tool I will never ever buy
It’s targeting what they want to sell you depending on what target group you are, it’s never been what might actually interest you personally.
I worked in advertising for over 10 years before a career change. I saw how much money was wasted on programmatic digital advertising. I’d recommend checking out the book, The Subprime Attention Crisis
Truth social is based on mastodon so its close enough
Don’t know if it works on iOS, but in Android you can block ads systemwide by setting your DNS server to dns.adguard-dns.com.
Note that this may occasionally interfere with things. I was having trouble with in-flight WiFi last time I flew, and I once I switched the Private DNS setting back to Automatic, it suddenly worked.
Same with googling things and clicking on the first few links because they’re advertisement links
DuckDuckGo, my netizen. Google search is all AI slop and ads now.
The point wasn’t about how cool the search engine was. It was to highlight another maybe unexpected side effect of blocking the dns. Begone
Also on iPhone, got Red Note ad instead. I wonder if it’s regional or if it’s kinda random?
Edit: I refreshed and now it’s Snapchat.
Edit: refreshed, it’s now AOL hahaha
You’ve got mail! <3
I hope that AD is pay per view and not pay per click
Fuck. For a second there I thought it was an ad in Lemmy, and was enraged that this shit was pushed. Don’t care me like that
i got Rednote, which is the other opposite of what I want
people on Rednote are actually nice though, whereas Truth Social is full of MAGA Nazis
This was my result:
well that’s a different app store
