ADSCAM: How Online Advertising Gave Birth to One of History's Greatest Frauds and Became a Threat to Democracy by Bob Hoffman
About the Book:
In 2017, Bob Hoffman wrote BadMen: How Advertising Went from a Minor Annoyance to a Major Menace. It was selected as Best Of Marketing, 2017 by The Drum.
Five years later Bob revisits advertising’s tracking-based online advertising industry and finds it far more corrupt and dangerous than ever.
In ADSCAM: How Online Advertising Gave Birth to One of History’s Greatest Frauds and Became a Threat to Democracy, Bob concludes that the tracking-based online advertising industry is
“a criminal racket of epic proportions. It is a giant worldwide scam – organized crime at a global scale that has been normalized by involving virtually every major corporation, every pretty-sounding trade organization, and the entire advertising, marketing, and digital media industry."
