I like how the patent app goes right back into one person shooting another. Whoever put that together knew what they were doing.
This patent is borderline "there are 4 lights" shit. What's to stop the 'passcode' from being "I sure am hungry, let's get mcdonald's" and pavloving the general population?
That's absolutely the point. The goal of most marketing is to worm into everyone's brains so when they think of a need, the product is their default. This doubles down on that by trying to generate a need through action.
How's this different than a podcast with ads every twenty minutes or ads before your favorite Mr.beast video
Its not. Tho it is more naked about its intentions. You could say current ads say "we exist" rather than psy op hypnotoad "buy this".
I feel like many don't announce themselves though. I've seen so many viral videos that were secret ads. So you're forced to watch 3 minutes of ads before finally watching the video everyone is talking about and its fake as shit but happens to keep the product in frame and perfectly facing the camera.
Product placement has been a thing for a long time. If your favorite youtuber only wears one hat, or always wears the same shoes or something, that's part of it too. On TV I believe they have to have a disclaimer that there's product placement.
We should have kept it of the internet. We had a valid shot of keeping those scum bags out of this new media. Now were paying the price.
There was nothing anyone could do. Your youtuber could've not sold out but they did, because it's easy, and it doesn't alter their work too much, and they don't care if you buy it or not.
We could have set the culture up to be hostile towards the encroachment of this stuff. That's what we do control. Spread the memes. Make the content and share the channels and sites that point out the sell outs. We all could have pointed out this stuff earlier and actually been hostile towards it. We all should and still should reject and be hostile towards any kind of advertising. This stuff is fucking everywhere.
If you take a step back and consider how much of your life is someone trying to sell you something its just insanity that we've let it get this far and nobody has put a fight up against it. Hell we only get like 4 fucking hours a night of free time and if I'm giving away 2 to commercials and advertising then fuck me what the hell am I doing. We all deserve entertainment to relax in accosted by someone trying to hawk their bullshit.
I like to think there is a point where the average person would observe a certain level of bullshit and immediately escalate to extreme violence against their corporate overlords.
I'm not saying that this patent is my level. I'm not saying this patent is not my level.

I hope so. Too much corporate apologia going around.
Won't someone think of the shareholders?!? If they don't get the profit they're expecting, then they may not be able to afford that 6th home for their kids spring break! Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be for their kids? Have a heart you filthy peasant! Think of the children!
"Corporations Are People, My Friend!"
All evidence so far to the contrary.
Mc Donald's!
The jokes on them. In our household we praise and yell McDonald's regularly
I’m lovin’ it
If I remember correctly, US patents are protected for 20. So If they want to pull this of, they likely gonna do it in the next 10 years.
With the slow boil going on, I'd expect the world to implode on ads starting within 8 years.
...or, in 20 years EVERYBODY will suddenly start doing it.
It comes from afar and, surprise, guess from whom?
Inventors of those patents are Robert L. Sweet and Alan B. Densky. Those names mean anything? I don't know them and I don't get the point you are trying to make...
I think he is assuming it is a google patent, from the domain name.
The program as viewed by the person's unconscious mind acts to condition the person's thought patterns in a manner which alters that person's behavior in a positive way.
(Emphasis mine). I'm pretty sure they mean subconscious mind. Not so sure an unconscious mind can view a video, since, you know... it's unconscious.. ..
Unconscious can have several meanings, it does not necessarily mean that someone is knocked out, it can mean that you perceive something not consciously, which is recorded in your subconscious. The subconscious is a place in your memory where impressions are stored, including those that you have not consciously perceived, but they can condition your behavior, your aversions or your preferences, without there being an objective cause or you really knowing why. This is what this subliminal manipulation takes advantage of. We are surrounded by these manipulations that remain engraved in us, in shopping in supermarkets, colors of packaging, location of items, even using product names as a generic synonym, like eg googling to search for something on the Internet. Worse is that it is also used in political slogans, influencing voters towards a certain ideology against any reason. Recognizing these techniques is the first step to combating them, although it is very difficult not to fall into this trap, despite knowing it. We are all Pavlov's dogs in this game.
Holy blundered brainwashing, batman!
Please don't give them any ideas lol
I'll just leave this here...

Amazing. Ten years of this image and you dumbfucks still think this is going to happen tomorrow.
