Must we?
This is just silly. Itâs not like their operation is targeting only this or that demo. The Obama campaign had over 150 major segments last cycle and online micro-targeting was practically infinite in its specificity. Hillaryâs data operation expands on Obamaâs⌠This doesnât represent either cluelessness or doubling-down, just a single buy targeting some particular demoâŚ
One of the most compelling reasons I can think of not vote for Hillary Clinton in the coming election is purely as a stand against political dynasties.
Well, yeah, if you put it that way⌠still worth a giggle though.
Iâll fix this for you. Take out the â,â
Grandma and Grandpa love AOL!
âŚand donât forget she also owns the superdelegate demographic. Iâm guessing they all use aol.
Still have my AOL email I got in 1996 when I first got on the net. Not because I am a tech idiot, but because I am a tech packrat.
Fondly remember the Warez rooms and scroller, punter bots, winnuke. Much lulz.
Part of my job is attempting to detect fraudulant transactions for an online business, one of the biggest alarm bells is someone using an @aol.com email address.
How did reality get this story before The Onion?!?
Quick image search only brought up news articles and Yahoo. So I guess sheâs also advertising on Yahoo. I think I may have used that once in 1998 or 1999.
While I agree with you⌠still, this is ridiculous, and encapsulates all of the prior reasons I wasnât going to vote for Clinton.
I doubt that they are targeting young voters. AOL is showing me the ad below when I go to the login page.
I wonder if they only show that Clinton ad to people who they have identified as being democrats (via cookies or device profiling).
Many young voters have now seen her name again. This post alone reached more voters than the page. Maybe she knew people would talk about her decision, maybe her staff decided it was a good use of money. It did get people talking about her who barely know she is running for president.
Who are these people?
AOL time? Warn her!
Software on cds? How about 6 inch floppies! Yes I remember that.
So youâre disappointed in Boing Boing?
Donât you mean 8" floppies? Then came 3.5", still called floppies even though they werenât.
