INTERESTING FIND OF THE WEEK

PIXIE PARK UPDATES

Episode 10 is out!! :D You can watch it on youtube, or on the website here!

this youtube podcast was recommended to me, and i REALLY enjoyed this episode! it's about outrageous game ads, but it really dives into digital advertising and the "why" and "how" it works (or doesnt, LOL) towards the end. I found the parts about how different platforms prioritize different kinds of content and why, the "view" replacing the "click", and how social media trains our brains to work algorithmicly to be super interesting!!

CW for some pretty gross and upsetting content because... mobile game ads xD

there's also an extremely fun and nostalgic montage going thru old web ads, from banner ads to the ads-as-flash games trend (i was literally JUST TALKING to my sister about the old wonka games site!! her fav was sweet tarts 3d. RIP trident: fire and ice :( OMG IT LIVES!!! ).

anyway, super interesting watch, and i really liked the presenters! :D

surprise

and some awesome stuff by my friends & community!
