According to a proposal to regulators, the social media giant wants to charge Europeans for monthly subscriptions if they don't agree to let the company use their digital activity to target ads. So basically, Meta considering offering an ad-free version of Instagram or Facebook for $14 a month just in Europe because the laws are stricter there and they're trying to get around that.

You could even argue that if an advertiser is targeting something at myself, and my wife is watching with me, we're different genders, but we're in the same demographic. At this point, we've actually started to look like each other, so that's how long we've been together. We have similar tastes, we share a budget.

Oh, pretty soon we're we're going to be adding robots to that demographic ratio. Marcus Johnson:. That's true. Thank goodness. Kidding. That sounds terrifying and dreadful, and we'll talk all about that in today's episode. Although I will say a world with a smaller share of young people, sounds rather nice. Anyway, today's real topic, the problems with artificial intelligence, part one.

And I think as Karina pointed out, you could still target older demographics on other platforms as well as younger demographics and other slices that you want to reach and it's just more precise and it's more targeted. And I don't really see how this play is going to make the industry as a whole more appealing for advertisers.

Corey Richardson, VP at ad agency fluent360 was quoted saying, "Major social media platforms are now like the mall in your hometown that used to be the good mall, but now there's no longer a Macy's there, it's just a calendar store and a place selling beepers." Stephanie, what's your position on whether digital ads have gotten worse as of late? Stephanie Taglianetti:.

I'm in that demographic and I don't consider resale value, but I also mostly buy resale, so I don't know if I count. Suzy Davidkhanian:. So 45% of the Thredup survey takers, so we're going to have to assume their sample size was gradient, and so if the general population is accurate, of the Gen Z and millennials think about if they're going to be able to resell their Zara jeans from $10 to $15.

And I think that's making brands even more relevant to broader demographics and playing into the kidulting trend. Is that we see children's media is increasingly communicating on more than one level. It can speak to kids and adults at the same time.

Some interesting numbers by the demographics as well. Baby boomers, so 59% of them, 24 percentage points more likely than the younger folks, the Gen Zers, to believe the US should have already begun regulating AI developments and use. So baby boomers, 59% of them said it should've already started versus just 35% of the Gen Zers. Let's move to our second question here. How are we looking on the scores?

From a very, very, just a core point of view, from a very practical point of view, I think that the demographic who is able to afford a high-end Mercedes like this and one that has an interest in using TikTok while driving the car, I think that's a very, very small section of a Venn diagram. To all the other safety reasons and other stuff aside, I think that at its core, it's very odd to me.

So focus on their demographic. Know that's going to be a part of their lifestyle, but not a full part. And as it is, digital grocery is still taking off. They don't have to do too much. It's becoming more and more of people's new habits, and it's a part of people's lives now. Marcus Johnson:. Bill? Bill Fisher:.
