Minotaur’s for those who didn’t read the article.
Comments saying it’s bears are trolls
oooh. people should be careful around those. they get like a +4 to str and con.
Minotaur is an island species, though I guess those are also Greece now too.
Brown bears
You the real mvp
I hate the Independent website.
Warning: incoming rant about this source and marketing in general…
warning, this video contains images that some viewers might find distressing
15 (!!!) targeted ads later : yeah, I’m fucking in distress, why the fuck do i have to deal with that shit? I saw a one second still from some video about a moose and boom next targetted ad!
I don’t even know how they all ow how to target me as I was viewing this in the connect browser which I only use to see Lemmy posts, yet they fucking knew about at least some of my search history
I’m so SO fucking done with ads shit. If I have to see a single fucking More ad it would be too much. Fuck your tracking of me
I know, I k ow, my browser likely got fingerprinted, likely combining shit with precision location from WiFi networks around me and and and…
It’s so insane that I have to build a fucking zombie survival bunker just to be treated normal and not have these fucking marketers at my door.
I’m fucking gonna landmine the crap out of it. If my browser sees you trying to fingerprint me it should just launch preemptive DOS attack on the site or something. You fuck with me, I fuck with you.
You do not have the right to fingerprint me, you do not have the right to bother me with your fucking ads.
I’ll just spend more time hammering things down even more. This is a cold war and every turn they go in the offensive and we defend more. They take more data, and we lock down more. They will find more outrageous techniques and we lock them down even more. We wouldn’t have been here if marketing agencies weren’t such enormous assholes, if it wasn’t that ever step must be about more money, more more more.
Now I’m done, I’ll accept zero monitoring, zero control l, zero advertising. I’ll take what I want and how I want it and of you don’t like it then fuck you, you did this, not me.
I agree. But I’d like to zoom out a little more. This is not even good news, but irrelevant clickbait, wasted time. Useless information screaming for our attention, frying our brains.
Every new day of (rather moderate, I’m fine) doomscrolling brings me closer to quitting all this. Throwing rocks in a pond is a more real experience than watching ads to watch a clip about some random thing that might have happened somewhere. What are we even doing, this is a trap!
