The end goal of all this data collection is mind contol. The optimization of marketing to the point where you see the ad, you buy as much of the thing as you can afford, take out a loan and buy even more of it. All major entities (corporations, billionaires, governments) beleive that you owe them every thing you own. Until they get violently reality checked this will continue.
Except advertising doesn't work. Click through rates are typically 0.1%. 1 out of 1,000 actually click, 1 out of 1,000,000 actually purchase.
They want to know what "America is watching" so they can manipulate them more. Too many people watching Candice Owens? Turn up the "anti-semetic rhetoric" against her. Too many people interested in Thomas Crooks? Turn up the FBI propaganda against the case.
The side benefit is you get to know what porn people like and you can operationalize data like that against them later.
It is working, at 1 in a million according to your numbers. And as with every other number it can be optimized. It will increase to 1 in 10,000, then 1 in 1,000 then 1 in 100, then 1 in 10 and 1 in 1. Sure the advertising in the future won't just be some images and sound, but it WILL increase in effectiveness, especially as they get more data to look through to find out what is effective and what is not.
That is pretty much the definition of marketing.
What are you basing this on? The current trends and data show that this is an entirely ungrounded prediction.
If people don't have money they can't spend it. I think you're only analyzing this through the lens of a single data point. Clearly that's frustrated your analysis.
Stop thinking in terms of products. Start thinking in terms of generating support for a war. You know, the think they keep trying and failing at, that's probably the thing to recognize here.
This is what they do. They make you think they're dumb, meanwhile, they're just not being honest, and you have to think of the big picture yourself or you're doomed to fail against them.
You are making assumptions about what i'm saying that just aren't true. Any method that has good sucesst in marketing for products will be used for everything else. They stoped MK-ULTRA not because it didn't work, they stopped it because they found something better: A/B testing.
