Yeah this is literally a general roll out announcement. It wasn’t available to everyone before. Generally most ad platforms test features with enterprise level clients before letting everyone have access.
Well A) this is not going to get deleted cause B) it’s not that big relative to most advertising.
Previously you could target ads by subreddit or interest (which I’m assuming was subscribers of a subreddit when they were on an unrelated subreddit)
This allows for ads to be served based in keywords on keyword targeting. So a car company could serve ads on “transmission repair costs” or whatever.
The second changes looks like product ads, which is an ecom ad format that you see on Google (top row of products), insta, Pinterest, etc… basically it’s exactly what it sounds like. Products in an ad, you can swipe through them.
If you don’t like targeted ads you’re not going to like these, if you didn’t care before you probably won’t care now.
Yeah that’s more than valid, I don’t think I can upload video to Lemmy yet (at least not on the app) which is annoying and I have no idea where to rehost short form video on a site that isn’t cancer.
Ahhh, okay also thought that was all in my head regarding the font sizes. 😂 It also feels like username/community are flipped in terms of how one reads through the posts/feed. But I may just be conditioned from Apollo.
I saw a tiktok about this that there were two separate papers published within the week as it looks like they were competing to take credit for the achievement, which would be unusual for bunk science.
Not an endorsement by any means, but def paying closer attention than I would have.
This isn’t the only answer but it’s a big one. Having both the communities where people can authoritatively answer niche questions and the ability for new people to find those communities/questions is absolutely critical.
