A long time ago, someone figured out that you could make money with eyeballs. Meaning, you can make something that a lot of people look at, and then sell the rights to put content in that thing.

This is the advertising industry.

Now, some very smart people looked into this, and they figured out exactly how effective it could be and how it could be used and abused, and for a long time, it did pretty much all that it was expected to do.

And then the jews came along.

The jews, masters of lies and deception, their father being the devil (Jesus' words, not mine) found that you could lie to businesses and exaggerate the effects of advertising. And so they convinced people to spend ungodly sums of money to pursue advertising. And thus the radio and TV industries were born. And the film industry.

And along comes the internet.

When the internet was first made, it was a curious project that allowed for instantaneous transmission of data between two servers anywhere in the world. This seemed of little use outside of communication, and that's all anyone ever thought it would be: a glorified telephone, at best.

Nevertheless, jews figured out how to make things shiny and new and attractive, and next thing you know they are raising money to build companies like Yahoo! and Google and whatever else, all based on the idea that the internet would be the "next big thing".

Except it wasn't. It was just a glorified telephone.

As one company rose from the ashes of another company, jews convinced people to invest ungodly sums of money in pursuit of eyeballs and advertising revenue. Eventually, things reached a fevered pitch when people came to realize that eyeballs WERE money. Views WERE revenue. Impressions WERE wealth.

Of course it wasn't true, but that didn't stop them from trying to convince everyone it was! And so companies were born that were not designed to make money, but simply get views. Some day they would figure out how to convert those eyeballs into advertising revenue, but that's a problem for the future, not the present.

The issue was that when they started trying to convert the impressions into actual cash, they weren't getting nearly the amount of cash they expected. This destroyed companies that had any modicum of honesty, leaving only the jew-run companies to persist and chase the dream despite the dream being gone forever.

Then came AI. See, AI could solve all the problems, because they could create FAKE humans that would create FAKE content and attract real humans and get more views and then... somehow convert that into revenue?

Do you see what is going on with the internet?

Do you understand what "dead internet theory" really is?

There are trillions of dollars that don't exist and never will exist. As companies try to convert views to cash, they views evaporate, just like dew in the morning. But as long as they can deceive companies into spending more money on advertising, they can keep the dream alive. Except companies AREN'T spending money on advertising. And companies probably never will again.

The internet is a glorified telephone, nothing more. It allows you to talk to grandma. That's about it.

The end.

Are you in marketing? Because a claim like this:

> A long time ago, someone figured out that you could make money with eyeballs.

Is essentially what you'd say to get somebody's attention to read the rest of the post. Marketing 101.

Pretty much. If you haven't already, you might want to look into Edward Bernays and his continuing influence.

I strongly encourage anyone desiring to spend money on advertising to research advertising. It's eye-opening.

Great post, love it. Couple things.

First, the glorified telephone is a really big deal. Vastly increasing talking between individuals is the longest but strongest path to widespread consensus.

Second, dollars are inches. They're not real, they're units of measurement. There's no such thing as trillions of dollars. Wealth, which was once measured in dollars, is only *produced* by using labor to convert nature into resources that have human utility. Both capitalists and communists have this weird belief that money is a thing, rather than a yardstick for things.

No wonder we're impoverished if we're chasing fake wealth created by jewish bureaucratic sleight of hand. A herd of cattle is wealth. A full storehouse is wealth. Men who have your back is wealth. Money? money is an artificially rotting idea on a piece of electric paper.

If there's no food, dollars and crypto with reach parity again, at zero value. The value of a currency unit is the value of all available goods, divided by all the currency units in circulation. Free money to foreigners is stealing out of your pocket EVEN IF they're not taxing you for it. Just putting those dollars in circulation does the damage.

After all that wind-up... views can never be wealth, by their nature. Wealth is making nature useful for humans, and *views are NOT labor towards utility*. Duh.

It's not that purchase propaganda is ineffective. Advertising works. Maybe not as advertised, but it works. It's just that showing ads to people who can barely afford to live (and cope through the pervasive existential despair) isn't going to trigger purchases, just more views. The ads become the stress and the relief is more copescrolling. An escalating cycle of ever-less valuable but ever-increasing impressions.

Not just the "attention economy", the ENTIRE "unreal economy" is at risk of being exposed as worthless.

> dollars are inches

Great observation. I'm going to steal it.

> advertising works

No it doesn't. That's the great lie.

I've looked very deeply into the topic as I used to work in that area and now I'm on the opposite end of the industry as a business owner. You're always better off spending your money making your product better, keeping your customers happy, or paying your employees more, or just buying your kid a bike.

What's worse -- suppose you do spend $X and get $X+1 in profit from that ad campaign, which rarely, if ever, happens. Those customers that came to your store because of the ad are not coming back. They are too fickle and disloyal. They are not the sort of customers businesses need to grow and thrive.

Word-of-mouth is the best "advertising" by far and it's not even close. You can't buy that.

Real businesses should be developing a deep relationship with their customers such that the customer doesn't even think of finding another business. Real businesses actually care about the well-being of their customers and actually develop real solutions to their problems. They don't treat their customers like lines on a spreadsheet or formulae to be solved. They treat them like real people who have real lives and real needs.

"Viral" used to mean something. Now it means nothing. Anything can be "viral" whether or not it has even a million views. And I think the population is trained such that 15 minutes of fame is now 15 milliseconds of fame. Completely ephemeral and meaningless.

Social media addiction is very real but it only affects probably about 10% of the population at worst, in my estimation. My observations of my circle of acquaintances is that about 50% are on social media but only about 10% actually use it every day. Most don't. The other 50% realize how evil it is and stay away from it.

Heck, we tried a simple social media campaign for our business, just to see if it's worth investing time in, and we got nothing from it. A whole bunch of people are like "Oh this is the best thing ever! I love it! You have to try it!" but how many actually show up to buy our products? None of them. Literally none of them. They are trapped on social media and never come out of their caves to experience real life.
