“Sadly, it’s nothing new that smartphone companies use DSLR photos to fake phone camera’s capabilities. Samsung did it before, so did Huawei. And I believe many more brands do it, we just haven’t found out about it yet. I’m pretty sure that Samsung at least bought my photo legally, even though I haven’t received the confirmation of it. But regardless, this is false advertising.”

“it’s not the only user-unfriendly land grab we’ve seen Microsoft test out recently. Microsoft aborted a short-sighted attempt to scare people away from Google’s Chrome web browser in September, and it tried to shuffle Mail users to its Microsoft Edge browser any time they clicked a link, back in March.”

“In apps marketed for children 5 and under in the Google Play store, there were pop-up ads with disturbing imagery. There were ads that no child could reasonably be expected to close out of, and which, when triggered, would send a player into more ads. Dancing treasure chests would give young players points for watching video ads, potentially endlessly. The vast majority of ads were not marked at all. Characters in children’s games gently pressured the kids to make purchases, a practice known as host-selling, banned in children’s TV programs in 1974 by the Federal Trade Commission. At other times an onscreen character would cry if the child did not buy something. “The first word that comes to mind is furious,” said Dr. Radesky, an assistant professor of developmental behavioral pediatrics at the University of Michigan Medical School.”

“Le dispositif est simple : un candidat de télé-réalité se met en scène sur Instagram ou Snapchat avec un produit et l’accompagne d’une description flatteuse. Pour une seule publication, il touche « entre 700 et 3 000 euros, selon le nombre de ses abonnés », explique au Monde Bastien Grimal, ancien candidat de « Secret Story ». « C’était extrêmement profitable. On calculait le taux de rendement à partir des codes promotionnels uniques qu’ils filaient à leurs abonnés. Pour 100 euros investis, on avait parfois jusqu’à 350 euros de commandes », précise un ancien salarié de Nutravalia.”

“La principale nouveauté introduite au cours de la dernière décennie tient à l’émergence d’un troisième marché, venant se superposer à la vente de produits culturels et à celle de l’attention qu’ils attirent. Ce sont désormais nos « traces attentionnelles » qui font l’objet du commerce dont se nourrit l’économie de l’attention. L’innovation la plus « disruptive » des media électroniques ne tient pas à ce qui s’affiche sur nos écrans numériques, mais aux informations moissonnées à propos des gestes attentionnels que l’interactivité nous invite à exercer ”

“Nous croyons qu’Internet est une économie de l’intention et non de l’attention. Telle est notre proposition de valeur pour les annonceurs : nous leur permettons de répondre aux intentions des utilisateurs qui les recherchent, au moment où ils les recherchent. Dépouiller la navigation en ligne de tout contenu inutile, c’est finalement créer un cercle vertueux. Les utilisateurs y trouvent leur compte grâce à une navigation plus simple. Les annonceurs gagnent en visibilité dans un environnement plus fluide.”
