Subprime Attention Crisis
Advertising and the Time Bomb at the Heart of the Internet (FSG Originals x Logic)
Tim Hwang - 2020-10-13
Calificación de Goodreads
"Subprime Attention Crisis" by Tim Hwang is a timely examination of the digital advertising industry and how big tech monetizes our attention. With insightful research and alarming revelations, Hwang shows us how the internet's foundation is precarious, and that the potential collapse of digital advertising could have devastating consequences similar to the housing crisis of 2008. This thought-provoking book will change the way you see the internet and its future, highlighting the need for nuanced discussions about technology's impact on our lives.

While I think Apple's privacy stance is good, I worry about the demonization of advertising in general. I think we underestimate how much of the weird/fun/independent internet thrived because of advertising's support. This book is amazing if you're interested in why this matters.      fuente
