Comment on How not to advertise 101!
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 hours agoAdvertisers do want people exactly like you
I promise you they don’t.
who will go around telling other people about their product
That’s not what I’m doing and you’d have known that if you paid attention to context rather than automatically apply your generalizations about ad effectiveness where they don’t apply.
You even repeated part of their copy for us, so now we know generally what service they provide
Except the “copy” does NOT in fact disclose that. I’m not gonna (in your mind) prove you right by telling you what they do, but one of the many things they DON’T do is helping people start a business.
if any person reading this doesn’t hold the same lack of regard for corporate interests as you
What kind of contrarian idiot would read this far down a thread specifically about hating ads for product recommendations? Other than yourself, of course.
Advertising is ~little more than~ corporate propaganda
Fixed it for you
you are not immune to propaganda.
Nobody inherently is, but that doesn’t mean that ALL propaganda works on ALL people.
The world isn’t a binary like that.

That is literally, textually, what you have done. It clearly was not something you intended to do, but you still did it. You brought their ad copy into a place where it does not ordinarily reach. You even quoted them while doing it.
You might not like that you’ve done it, but no amount of quote replying can change that you’ve done something quite valuable for them.

Again, context matters.
In a context that’s explicitly anti-ads, they’re not going to benefit from me quoting a snippet of their aural assault.
To put it bluntly since you’re not one to pick up on clues: shut the fuck up with your bullshit, please.

Oi. Keep it civil. Take a day off from here to learn how to do that.

This seems like a pretty extreme reaction to having something very basic pointed out.

Well this went from zero to a million with little more than a casual observation 😂
