A few paradoxes or philosophical ironies I have observed on this Bird Street:
1. Idiots have devised effective strategy to get under the skin of intelligent people:
E.g: Class A says he will unseat Tinubu in Lagos for N100m. Class B, gets riled up. Ought we not to just waka pass?

2. Second irony:
The illogical person makes illogic sound logical and incredibly many people retweet and like the illogic. The logical minded is now thrown into arguing that a clear illogic is illogic. Ought the logical minded person not to simply waka pass?
3. The third irony:
Tinubu owns Lagos. 2 businesses were burnt down (Nation and TVC). Those 2 media houses have not in the past 3-5 years done anything to support Tinubu's party, the APC-they have been largely opposition media. Who did the arsonists punish? Tinubu or Insurance?/
4. Tinubu and the ABC and the money laundering allegation: If people were rational, they would have done this:
1. Scrutinised the MEMART of the ABC company registered with CAC? Is Tinubu's name featured there?
2. Is the LASG operating an opaque contract with ABC company? /
5. The rationale mind would find that there just may be a substantive contract between the LASG & the said company. There may well be a LAW of the LASG supporting the ABC's operations in Lagos. So accusing Tinubu may not go anywhere in the face of the Law. Nut changes can happen?
6. Of course changes can happen if truly there is a need for it? When there is a contract, an amendment can be sought by parties, also if there is a breach of contract, agreement can be abrogated. But screaming about Tinubu on the TL everyday is plain silliness and ineffectual/
7. It appears that the same ABC company was so impressive in Lagos, that other states retain their services. Just ponder on the folly of screaming Lagos when other states have copied Lagos. Many private companies are daily thinking of more efficient ways to render services. If/
8. If you have a smart solution to the many problems of Lagos, develop it & go about selling it to the LASG or if you believe Jagaban is the king maker, then go sleep in his house for weeks for an opportunity to meet with him & 'shoot' your 'shot'. Nothing venture, nothing gained
9. My final irony today is the one that just played out in the Lagos East Senatorial election. Fresh from the EndSars campaign, I would have thought the youth would have asked the 2 contenders to address them even via zoom & task them on their credentials & mission to the Senate/
10. That they did nothing at all like this & that many of them also did not come out to vote leads me once again to the sad reality that this very volatile class of Nigerians need lessons in leadership. A leaderless strategy is no strategy.
Have a good Sunday you ALL.

This response to my tweet is a common objection to targeted advertising.

@KevinCoates correct me if I'm wrong, but basic point seems to be that banning targeted ads will lower platform profits, but will mostly be beneficial for consumers.

Some counterpoints 👇


1) This assumes that consumers prefer contextual ads to targeted ones.

This does not seem self-evident to me


Research also finds that firms choose between ad. targeting vs. obtrusiveness 👇

If true, the right question is not whether consumers prefer contextual ads to targeted ones. But whether they prefer *more* contextual ads vs *fewer* targeted

2) True, many inframarginal platforms might simply shift to contextual ads.

But some might already be almost indifferent between direct & indirect monetization.

Hard to imagine that *none* of them will respond to reduced ad revenue with actual fees.

3) Policy debate seems to be moving from:

"Consumers are insufficiently informed to decide how they share their data."

To

"No one in their right mind would agree to highly targeted ads (e.g., those that mix data from multiple sources)."

IMO the latter statement is incorrect.
