The Internet’s original sin<\/a> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the latest issue of Galaxy Brain, Charlie Warzel\u2019s newsletter about technology and culture, Gizmodo\u2019s\u00a0Shoshana Wodinsky<\/a>\u00a0is explaining bad ads. As Charlie says in his opener, \u201cmost everything bad about the internet\u2026 has at least a little bit to do with this ecosystem\u201d, so trying to understand it better is probably in all our interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Q&A is pretty long, but the generally depressing TLDR is a description of an industry riddled with unnecessary complexity and fraud. Early on, Shoshana says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you talk to people who work in adtech candidly, almost all of them know that the field is rampant with fraud and abuse and really just grifters. I don\u2019t think it would be as complex if it weren\u2019t trying to hide a lot of that fraud.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However, the conversation ends with an optimism based on the fact that if enough people start to speak up, the lawmakers will listen. Fingers crossed our next story is an example of that in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why these Facebook research scandals are different<\/a> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We talked about The Wall Street Journal\u2019s Facebook Files in this week\u2019s episode and acknowledged many times that Facebook controversies are nothing new. In his Platformer newsletter, Casey Newton rightly says most Facebook scandals come and go. But, for him, this one feels different to the scandals of the past because this one has been led by Facebook\u2019s own workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BBC boss fears ‘Jess Brammar effect’ will affect hiring diversity of views<\/a> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you think of the BBC\u2019s Tim Davie, he\u2019s right to be expressing concern that the furore over Jess Bramar\u2019s hiring could impact the corporations\u2019 ability to hire people with a diverse range of opinions. \u201cI want to make sure we\u2019re hiring for a broad church of individuals and what characterises them is their ability to leave their politics at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New study reveals major audio investment gap for marketers<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A report from WARC and leading US radio and podcast producer iHeartmedia highlights the discrepancy between audio listening and marketing spend. Consumers spend 31% of their media time with audio, yet brands allocate just 8.8% of their media budget on audio. A quarter of brands are missing from audio entirely. Come on marketing people, get it sorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
