Contains me talking about how I created this video.
The whole idea of ads on websites being used to extract money and attention from people feels low level and predatory to me. It turns creativity and communication into a transaction where the primary goal is no longer sharing ideas or building something meaningful, but finding ways to squeeze value out of visitors. When a page is designed around ads, the content becomes secondary, and the experience starts to feel hostile instead of welcoming.
Tracking people’s movements online and analyzing their behavior just to figure out what can be sold to them crosses a line for me. It is not about helping someone discover something useful, it is about manipulation. The moment a website starts watching, profiling, and targeting its visitors, it stops being an honest space and becomes a system built to influence decisions without transparency.
This kind of approach destroys trust. Visitors can feel when they are being treated as data points instead of human beings. Once that trust is gone, it does not come back easily. A website should feel like a place where ideas are shared openly, not a trap designed to keep someone scrolling or clicking long enough to generate revenue.
Because of that, I will never place ads on my website. I want my work to exist without hidden motives or pressure tactics. If someone visits my page, I want them to be there because they are interested in what I create, not because an algorithm decided they were a good target. That choice is intentional and it reflects how I want to build and share things.
