Yeah I’m not surprised I’m getting Snow White ads. Just that I keep getting the same one over and over. I do like the villains a lot though but how could the algorithm possibly know that? I’ve haven’t watched anything about them in a while.
Creepy!
I watch a lot of videos of songs I like so I get tons of that too.
Welcome to the world of the internet, where companies know more about you than you know yourself.
I was shown a video about the Pixar theory one time when I was really young and now I’m a full blown conspiracy theorist when it comes to the world of film. So yeah just goes to show how you can see one thing online and suddenly it’s your new favorite thing.
Interesting. The article says it will be at a castle and, “a more elaborate showing at the “fairytale” venue.” I would’ve expected that to be more than a private press event. Sounds like they’re trying to make it seem big without it actually having to be big (in attendance at least).
I’m sure they want it “controlled”, so even if “more elaborate” may still be a press only premiere to prevent any public showing up causing negative backlash.

Plus, advertisers can target “people who like” x. So if you clicked to “like” Lady Gaga’s page, you’ll likely be targeted with ads when her new album comes out (today.)
Conventional wisdom is a lot of people will see an ad 4 to 8 times before they engage with it by either clicking, commenting, or making a purchase.
I only comment here where we keep it mostly civil. Years ago I used to love interacting in the ABC news comments but they got progressively worse over the years until they finally got so bad they just shut them down altogether.Plus, advertisers can target “people who like” x.

Another way is engagement rewards engagement. As a person who likes “Disney World,” about two weeks ago, I was being targeted by 3rd rate sites stirring stuff up about this movie. You may be surprised to learn I find it hard to resist engaging (ha!) and on that platform, I’m not very restricted. I can outright call someone who posts “Snow Brown” a racist, and have a knock-down drag out like we can’t have here. Unfortunately, that leads to FB showing me more and more versions of the same clickbait “articles” because they know I’m likely to engage.
But in the last two weeks, I’m seeing it almost exclusively from official Disney sites - because Disney can afford to bid higher for those keywords, and they ramped up their efforts. I wasn’t kidding when I said they’re drowning others out.
Unfortunately, they are met with the same hateful comments, and I still jump in and defend.
As someone who uses YouTube a lot this is right on the money.
It either feels like it is overrun with teenagers or that you don't even speak with real people.
This forum or the internet at large?
The internet. Mostly social media sites like Twitter or Reddit.
I think bots are overwhelming comments sections, I still like going into the comments on the news to get a feel for the public sentiment and it’s amazing how often the same “people” will have the same response to every post. A handful of “users” will have the same pro argument to everything, another handful of “users” will have the same con argument to everything. There’s either a couple dozen “people” who spend their whole day copying and pasting or there’s a couple dozen bots spamming every post with the same talking point.
