Most web ads go through third party brokers that sniff out your cookies for targeted ads. It’s entirely possible most folks won’t see Walmart ads on Vox and that Walmart doesn’t even know they advertise there.
Just the other day on the WWII+70 years thread they had a summary of the cities and destruction from the bombing (mostly firebombs). Most cities were over 50% destroyed. One was listed as 98.5% destroyed. I wonder how they figured that? (”Hey Frank - is that a shed and a barn still standing?”)
Of course today, if one bomb hits a “wedding party” there is a world-wide uproar.
None of this should be seen as countering something you said. They are simply comments on the subject.
I agree, but our refusal to confront North Korea on nukes will cost regional and U. S. lives at some point.
North Korea helps nations like Iran on their efforts. A shipment of missiles was intercepted on it’s way from N.K. to Iran and turned back.
I’m glad we didn’t use nukes again. If the situation hadn’t resolved, I won’t say it would have been wrong.
Thanks for your comments.
In 2 days it will be the 70th anniversary of Hiroshima, *and* the first GOP 2016 debate will be held.
He's too busy celebrating his b-day with Reggie today, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he's pulls that crap on Thursday in order to deflect from the debate.
I would like to know what “sponsored” means. FReeper discostu’s point in #41 is absolutely correct.
Well fine. Someone might tell them, that’s the point. Some people might want paradoxical advertisement, e.g. ads for pregnancy crisis centers showing up on articles touting Planned Parenthood. Some people might not.
Tell them what? That googleadservices (saw that one on the bottom of my browser when loading the offending page) sometimes put Walmart ads on the page? Walmart’s answer would probably be “are people clicking through?” The point of targeted ads is for you to see companies you’re likely to do business with. Reload that page a dozen times you’ll probably get at least 1 ad for somebody you do business with (unless you don’t get any, every time I go I get nothing, turned off all my ad blocking and everything). The web ad business isn’t about direct relationships anymore. Anybody using these services has no control or concern with where their ads are showing up, they just want the clicks.
I might not care, but only to an extent. If something sufficiently reprehensible was being used by my ad vendor then it would eventually blow back on me.
“I would like to know what “sponsored” means. “
When I went to HTR’s linked site the sponsor I got was AMERICAN MUSCLE!
Obviously a third party targeted ad based on my history with American Muscle.
So now we will forever know you as the American Muscle freak.
What did you get when you clicked on the article?
If they click through they click through. Part of the fun of this method of distributing ads is there isn’t even much of a trail. WalMart pays googleadservices, GAS pays Vox. It’s like using a flyer service, your flyers could wind up in a gay bathhouse, but if they become customers then the flyer service did their job and you don’t worry about it.

“Oh wow you are cutesy. That is why your credibility is zero.”
I think my credibility on this one is just fine.
Not very surprising that the Beijing Outlet Mart would support China’s wartime ally and closest friend.
