The lawsuit is ongoing, and just this January, new allegations in the states’ complaint were freshly unsealed: the states have accused Google of tinkering with its ad auctions to mislead publishers and advertisers and expand its own power in the marketplace. (Google told the Wall Street Journal that the complaint was “full of inaccuracies and lacks legal merit.”)The complaint touches on a crucial debate about the online advertising industry: does it, well, work?

Richard) 不知道你聽過《星箭廣播》111 集〈一場數位廣告的次貸危機正在醞釀中?(ft. Richard)〉了嗎?我們邀請 iCook 愛料理共同創辦人兼技術長李致緯 Richard 擔任特別來賓,來跟大家聊聊一本書:《Subprime Attention Crisis: Advertising and the Time Bomb at the Heart of the Internet》(注意力次貸危機:廣告與網際網路心臟地帶的定時炸彈),作者 Tim Hwang 在這本書裡將今日數位廣告主流的「程式化廣告」與 2007 年發生的次貸危機做對照,舉出很多相似之處,讓他相信今日數位廣告很可能正在形成當年的次貸危機。我們在 111 集除了簡單回顧網路廣告的發展史,還談到為何 Tim Hwang 認為程式化廣告「不透明」的特性造就了醞釀危機的環境。本集節目將會繼續往下談,首先我們會討論注意力「次貸化」現象以及作者認為的成因:人們注意力的轉移,以及數位廣告有著系統化欺詐的情形,這讓廣告主買到的廣告價格與背後注意力價值脫鉤——一如當年的衍生性金融商品與次級房貸。接著我們會談到數位廣告的泡沫是怎麼膨脹的,以及這個泡沫如果破掉會發生什麼事。當然我們會問:有方法可以避免災難發生嗎?作者在書中談到了幾個可能的解答,但 Richard 在節目中對此卻不怎麼樂觀。本集節目的最後,對於未來的網路世界會往哪個方向走:會有越來越多由廣告支持的免費服務和內容?還是開始走向使用者付費?我們拋出了幾個問題,歡迎聽眾們一起來思考。假如你喜歡我們的節目,記得訂閱《星箭廣播》、在 iTunes 留下評價(或是寫信給我們),同時也別忘了來我們的部落格看看,或是訂閱我們的電子報《科技創業週報》。如果你想要聽更多節目,可以參考我們推薦的節目,或是你想教朋友怎麼收聽 podcast,我們也有寫一篇文章。又或者,你想要自己製作 podcast,歡迎參考這篇〈Podcast 製作與上架指南〉。以下是我們在本集提到的連結:《Subprime Attention Crisis》《星箭廣播》111 集——一場數位廣告的次貸危機正在醞釀中?(ft.
