MC2 Post 1488 Will auto-play Video Ads Wreck the Internet?





"What are you two jitterbugs looking at?"

I don't often agree with Mike on how Technology will play out.  But In This Case: 
He's Spot on.

Will Reality Fluff do the same to TV?

Jitterbugs: That's what I call them.  

Have been making creeping incursions into our consciousness for some time now.

I Blame "Reality TV"  for This Ungodly Trend.


You have "personalities" in front of  a camera without a shred of talent.  

The director says: "Don't Move.  We'll  'Create' emotion with assorted 
 camera tricks.  Pan and Tilt.  Zoom in and Zoom out.  Then we'll repeat it 
 with another camera.   


It's the Ken Burn's Shot Gone Wild, Baby!   And it's making lots of AD selling shows with no talent whatsoever.  


Remember that Joke on Seinfeld  when Jerry and George tried to pitch a show to the Network about "Nothing". 

That's It.   That's a Show!!!

It's not a Joke anymore.  It's TV 2012-2013.  The Season of our Discontent.



Crap Television




What  Steve Jobs complained You Tube was promoting:  Amateur Hour.





         CNN has taken it this Kaleidoscope thing to new heights
  

Adding  shock and awe animation or 2 second videos that  make you forget the "reporter" is saying the same thing he said 15 minutes ago.



 Ergo:  Just silly Things that Jiggle just to get your attention.


It's not All bad.  We still have PBS, AMC, HBO, Showtime. 

Oh, and TCM  and Netflix ...

Facebook is reportedly bringing auto-play ads to your News Feed. That's just the beginning.



From:   http://www.datamation.com



Unlike TV's 30-second standard for ads, Facebook's would be capped at 15 seconds. The ads will be "autoplay," meaning they'll play without any action by the user.

While 15 seconds is short compared with TV, it's long compared with online users' tolerance levels.

The ads would show up in your Facebook news feed in desktop browsers, as well as on mobile phones and tablets.


Auto-play, in-stream advertising is going to annoy users, big-time.




 




===================================
===================================

 It seems some web pages have jumped
in where social sites are going slowly.

Browser Autoplay contrrol is already in Chrome.
But other Browsers will need to to use an Add-on
program like Firefox's: Adblock Plus.
