Yeah, i have no idea how all those people are doing their work. I need a big monitor or two, a good keyboard and a nice mouse!

It’s not perfect but will break many bot logins and people trying different logins from data leaks.

There is this little community here on Lemmy focussing on vintage german ads:

/c/die_reklame@feddit.org

Ads have changed, but those ads telling you that your body is ugly and that you need $product to change it are old and have been around since the 19th century and the beginnings of modern advertisements. It is also quite interesting how old some of the usual scams are. There are currently people on TikTok scamming people with some method invented in the 1800s

Yeah - ads do work. The whole point of the surveillance ad system is to track how effective ads are. Companies can measure how many sales they get from their ads and calculate if they are still making a profit. And all those influencers peddling scam products with their special discount codes? People are buying those products.
