What a non-story.

They basically asked: In an ad, do you prefer an actor reading out the marketing script or a computer-rendered face?

I just… don’t watch ads.

Firefox, ublock origin, NextDNS when mobile, pfBlockerNG at home.

I’ve gotten to the point where it’s genuinely jarring if I see an ad on one of my own devices.

How does that affect you instagram influencer browsing experience?

What’s instagram?

More seriously: I haven’t had any Meta service or app on any EDC/daily use device I own in roughly 8 years. The only device thar explicitly touches meta stuff is an old android phone I have on a separate DMZ network (yes, I know the internet is rife with Meta (et al) tracking vomit these days, but I think this is close to the best a reasonable, technically inclined person can do).
