  • Basically I see two options:

    1. This works for advertisers and based on your “profile” you are strongly influenced by the ads shown to you. So might just as well give your data to Meta and Google, who already sell profiled (and not individualised) ads.

    2. This doesn’t work for advertisers and you are not strongly influence by the ads shown to you. So the advertisers could just as well put a link somewhere and hope it is found by their target audience.

    Also I don’t my browser, my OS or any other core component on my system to be in bed with people who are trying to extract as much money as possible from me.


  • There are radio stations, financed through ads. And they check if people are listening by calling random persons to ask them what station they are listening to.

    So this is a viable business model and nobody is stopping anybody from putting plain pictures and links on sites and just estimate the page visits, but online advertisers want to know more. They always want more.

    At the same time, a browser is the essential software to browse the web. So this is as if your TV was like:

    Yo, many people mute their TV during commercials and don’t pay attention, which kills the poor networks. So I made a deal with advertisers and will check what your doing, while I provide unmutable ads , but don’t worry, your privacy is very important to us and we only care about providing to you the best TV experience possible.

    They can’t? I should watch that series again… Anyway, good point, but of course they can’t, because the phaseshift forces truly massless particles (like photons) into a state of quantum entanglement.

    That means photons hitting them, create an entangled twin that only exists long enough for them so see their surrounding. The “original” photon however just passes through making them invisible to others. Energy from the surrounding is used to create the twin, cooling the surrounding shortly. However, since the twin is immediately reabsorbed (and the entanglement broken), you basically can’t detect the effect.

    I don’t have a good explanation for how they can breathe, how they see without interacting with light, how they can hear clearly when matter isn’t really touching them and therefore can’t conduct sound, etc.

    That is obviously due to a phase shift in the quantum fields, which is correlated to the mass of the interacting matter (through the Higgs field). This leaves you interacting with light stuff like air and light, but prevents you from interacting with solid stuff like walls (and potentially force fields, if that would fit the episode).

    Of course, artificial gravity affects the mentioned phase shift by bending spacetime.

    And now I must go, before my handwaving creates enough energy to form a black hole.
