Publicidade Digital e Adblocking em Portugal – Apropriar ou Não Apropriar, eis a questão
Palabras clave:
adblockers, {adblocking em Portugal, motivos de apropriação de adblockers, literacias digitais, desafios para os mediaResumen
As dinâmicas de funcionamento do sector dos media contemporâneos estão, na era digital, cada vez mais susceptíveis a novas tensões. Da parte da estrutura financeira e dos modelos de negócio, poucos fenómenos serão tão relevantes de investigar quanto a utilização de software de adblocking, em consistente subida. Este artigo aborda a questão em duas vertentes: a) uma revisão teórica com enfoque na literatura mais recente e ainda escassa e b) testar a relevância desses contributos no caso português com base num estudo exploratório a uma amostra não probabilística. A relevância desta abordagem prende-se com a necessidade de compreender um fenómeno que tem em Portugal, à semelhança do resto do mundo, um forte impacto quer nos modelos de negócio das empresas de media quer na relação com os conteúdos informativos, por parte dos utilizadores de Internet. A revisão teórica e análise de dados demonstram a relevância do tema bem como a crescente tensão entre empresas, conteúdos e utilizadores no contexto dos recursos tecnológicos cada vez mais comuns e fáceis de operar nos ecossistemas digitais. O aumento dos índices de literacia crítica digital coincide com a tomada de consciência dos indivíduos face a conceitos como identidade, privacidade e relevância de conteúdos.
