How To Make Yourself Invisible To Advertisers | Explained

I love old print advertisements that are basically single page essays that very earnestly explained why the thing they made is really good and you should buy it. So much more pleasant than modern advertisements. Honestly I also really miss the websites of the late 90s and early 2000s. I really appreciate the minimalism, and that fact that they were usually just a bit of dressed up text, leaving focus on the actually important content. None of this modern full screen infinite photo scrolling with the occasional buzzwords appearing and scrolling by.

[@wy4553]

I just found this channel from the "How to disappear" video and I'm so impressed by the production quality. You're a great communicator (nice voice, good speaking pace + intonation, uses layman terms without making me feel dumb). I realize there's a team behind this channel and I'm not sure how your role extends beyond presenting, but kudos to everyone involved in the production. The visual elements/examples are well chosen and extends the points you're making, the editing is excellent, and even the studio set up is aesthetically pleasing. Everything's just so polished! These videos are both fun and insightful; I can tell you and your team put a lot of time, energy and effort into them. You've got a new subscriber, keep up the great work :)

When my son returns home, his smart phone automatically connects to the home internet. He believes that when he has conversations about certain things, he later gets ads about them on his computer.

[@Sumsubcom]

There's certainly technology under the surface that we've unknowingly consented to.

[@XnxxD]

That was actually a thing! I'd say Google it... Oh wait....

[@nineteen8486]

Definitely does

[@solarsombrero227]

That was tested and found not to be true. BUT because something you have a conversation about is likely something you are interested in or is relevant to you it's likely to appear in ads. This combined with a healthy dose of confirmation bias can lead to the illusion that your phone is listening to you (more than it actually is)

[@CZghost]

@@solarsombrero227 My relatives might actually disagree. Now see this. My father doesn't use PC much for productive work, doesn't use much internet in his phone eighter. But he certainly did get ads on topics he covered only in person with someone, with his phone in his pocket naturally. I don't think that this proves it, but doesn't prove it false, eighter. How was it tested? How did the researchers found out that it isn't true? Did they work with a real life case scenario? Did they test it outside lab controlled environment?

Comfort vs privacy, that's pretty interesting topic because I dont know how problematic this privacy issue could affect us on personal level.

[@therons930]

I'm guessing somebody could use your data as an alias and you're now framed idk

[@chick2d]

Sites sometimes know about you more than yourself so be cautious lol.

[@fetchstixRHD]

One reason in short: if I figure out that you're desperate for a certain item/service, it's easier to manipulate you against your interest (e.g. charge you higher as you won't check). See for example airline tickets that can charge you more because they assume you can afford more...

[@rickoshay6554]

Thanks for that Google ad settings link. It confirmed my suspicions. My eclectic interests have confused the hell out of their algorithms: 75 or 80% of what they have on me is almost laughable. They may know my name and address but they haven't the foggiest idea who I am! Not one of 50 ads they throw my way is of any interest whatsoever. It's like I tied a swatch of a victim's clothing to the police bloodhound's tail and now I'm watching it run around in circles. What a hoot! Just imagine if everyone began doing this intentionally.

@@BygoneT David Icke has written that the Internet was designed to scientifically induce a mass mental breakdown in the the World's population. The Western world in particular.

[@TheSimArchitect]

I am ok about my profile being used to filter my ads. I am NOT ok when Facebook shows my real profile to friends of my fake profile or vice versa (if I have more than one profile there, for example), when the entire point of having a personal profile without my legal name is to separate the two personas for different social groups. I also saw friends from one profile offered to be added on my other profile on "friends suggestions" and that's just awful. Also, we can't turn that feature off. Sometimes we don't want to be offered as a friend to anybody, but their creepy system doesn't work that way. What's worse is that sometimes when you're applying for a job prospective employers REQUIRE you to provide your social credentials, so you have nowhere to run if you want to apply, or you have to not deal with them instead (if you don't have a profile with your legal name anymore, I killed mine because of it). Another weird thing is Facebook's "official requirement" for people to use their legal names on their profiles. If they catch you using a pen name they just delete you. Facebook is way more perverse than anything else I have ever tried and I do my best to stay away from it as much as possible. When you're bored you might have fun making a video criticizing the way they operate and maybe even give us a tutorial on how to use it safely, if that's even possible. It's not my case, but imagine a secretly Christian person living in a radical Muslim country, then Facebook starts offering all your Christian groups and friends to your friends and family, even if you used another account for that purpose (and vice versa, and your fake profile to your family members). I would not be surprised to learn that people ended up killed because of Facebook's lack of respect in a situation like that. If it didn't happen already, it might happen in the future. One thing is to use your information for advertising, another is to show your family and "real life" friends secret affiliations you might have that should not cross between profiles. And they do use many techniques to leak the information, using different email addresses and browsers or even different devices isn't enough. They use your geolocation / ip address / routing etc to "offer people and groups" across your identities. I can't understand what they gain from doing that, to be honest, and the fact you can't block that feature makes their platform even less desirable and it's sad people might not have access to a safe space to build on line relationships with people who share the same values without that information leaking between universes. 😟 Sorry for the long comment!

[@Sunflower-mq2lr]

I totally agree with you. As someone in the lgbt community who is still in the closet, I’ve made side accounts to be able to meet other people from the community but Instagram recommended my account to real life friends and family and this have put me in serious trouble. I had to delete everything but still have to bare the pressure and judgement of those around me without having much opportunity to connect to other members of the community anymore. This is heavy to bare and I also live in a highly homophobic country overall...

[@TheSimArchitect]

@@Sunflower-mq2lr Exactly! One thing is trying to profit, another is putting people in danger just because they want to make friends' lists longer with more "stuff" on the feed to mix ads with.

Hi! Love the content! I have never gotten a good answer from anyone so I'm hoping that I can finally understand this. Why would I want to bother with hiding my information if I do have nothing to hide (assuming I don't throw my friends into that same group by sharing contacts as you mentioned). I am not a person of interest and it's hard for me to see how it mitigates any of my privacy if I am a simple data chunk that will never be looked at as an individual to see my interests (Black Mirror style). I do make sure that my privacy is maintained as much as possible as I understand it is important to do so, it is simply hard for me to understand why it is so important. Thanks!

[@Sumsubcom]

Hey, thanks for reaching out. Here's the short version: imagine being obliged to record every conversation that you will ever have with anyone. Your conversations can then be listened to by anyone if they google your name. How would you feel? The fact of the matter is, we may be law-abiding citizens, but we all have our secrets, things that we do that are considered taboo, and things that we've done that we're not proud of. Just because we're not doing anything illegal, it doesn't mean that we don't mind our data being publicly available, right?
