Advertising, marketing, propaganda. It programs people’s brains. It is extremely powerful.
There are dozens of these mass brain-programming campaigns going on right now. It’s been happening for many years … maybe centuries.
The effects can linger for many years. Even passing to the next generation.
I (straight male) think a woman smoking a cigarette is really really hot. Like it turns me feral when I see it.
I have to constantly remind myself that is just marketing from cigarette companies haha
That sounds pretty disgusting honestly
It is.
Yeah, but it’s really hot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(I do not have the most responsible taste in women haha)

Motorbikes are only considered cool because of
propagandamarketing.Motorbikes are considered cool cause they’re fun as fuck to ride
So are normal bikes ¯\(ツ)/¯
Big facts
can a normal bike go 170mph?
bikes that go 170 cost 30k plus if your dropping that much to go 170 an didnt stop to think its user error
Thats plain wrong. If or if not to go 170 is another question, but bikes weight nothing compared to cars, reaching that speed does not require a 30k bike at all.
to stay at that speed you can go down hill on a 636 an hit high speeds in perfect conditions
I’ve seen ebikes from aliexpress that can do it.
Fuck that man! You’re trying to die at that speed
Does a regular bike explode in a ball of fire when I hit a semi going 170mph?
I like my skin unflayed, thanks. /s
Don’t anger the cartels, then.
Maybe if its accelerated.
It is passive-aggressive testicle-biting bs like this that forms the very backbone of modern social media.
Sorry? I was just making a joke.
Hey me too. We’re twins.
I was going to disagree but not sure about cool. Bikes are fun to ride though. I miss mine.

And yes, USAian hollywood films are just
large marketing campaignspropaganda.Holly creeps shilling regime talking points since they were established.
The thing is that most people accepted the regime so they “art” was fine enough.
Now that common pleb is starting to turn on clown regime, all of sudden they are not into trash Hollywood is shilling
They are also starting to notice that every new “it” celeb is a fucking nepo baby, and that just adds insult to injury
They expect you to live in poverty while worshiping some third generation’s crotch fruits “talent”
🤡
Motorbikes are only considered cool because of
propagandamarketing.Nothing is cooler than getting rid of cars in favor of more efficient transportation.
I like bikes in general, but motorbikes wouldn’t be half as popular if they weren’t marketed the way they are.
Efficient in terms of miles per gallon or liters/100km, sure, but unfortunately they are also heavier polluters. I obviously don’t want to give mine up, but the pollution means I would switch to electric as soon as it meets my needs and is affordable.

Looks like you posted this twice so I’m replying twice :)
Social Media, just like all media, does not exist to “earn money with ads”, or even profile you. It is about being able to influence you through controlling the availability of content you don’t even realize. It doesn’t matter if you interact. All the other bullshit is intentionally published to distract, on media. Chat bots have a bias. They don’t exist to help you. They exist to control the responses.
What percentage of the chatters here are bots? Reddit? Facebook?
Just out of yr ass guess.
I’ve come up against some strongly dominant-paradigm-defending responses a lot. So I wonder bot or just normal people.

Alright, boys. Hear me out. You cut a hole on the inside of your pocket, put on your pants, then pull your penis through the hole so that it is emerging and/or hanging out of your pocket.
I don’t even get what behavior you’re referring to
Idiots buying those thermos cups is most recent example
Social media “organic trends” trust me bro 🤡
[off topic?]
“The Source Of The Nile” by Avram Davidson. Science fiction short story.
Ad man is always looking for the next big thing. One day he notices some kids wearing their sneakers cut up. A few days later he realizes that the fad has exploded. He patiently tracks down where the fad started. It turns out there’s one family that starts all the fads. It’s never explained why or how, just that somehow these people are the ones who decide what’s going to be popular for the rest of the world.
It could also just be the beginning of a new fad.
Fidget spinners were uncommon and kinda weird before they really took off.
Natural early adoption of a thing solely by word of mouth looks almost the same as marketing.
You think fidget spinners apparated from thin air?
Obviously not.
They’re created through alchemy.
Ah, yes. That’s Arabic for “The Chemy.”
A lot of ‘word of mouth’ fads are initiated by clever marketing pretending to be word of mouth.
I don’t think the “Harlem Shake” had commercial interests. Who was making money off of that?
Bauuer?
I really should have used a better example like a tiktok dance/challenge or a meme format instead of a physical product.
Tiktok dances are generally marketing to get new songs popular. They pay the biggest channels and it snowballs from there.
Or new slang
TikTok is just an endless stream of ads
Or theatre students. They used to send them out to act weird in public to get over feeling self conscious.
Are you sure that’s not just the innate weirdness of theatre students you’re seeing? Especially late-night coming down off the high of a show, singing and dancing in the Denny’s parking lot…🎶
Midday on the subway. I knew someone who attended that school and it was literally part of intro performance.
You got to do it in a dennys? Our post performance was always at some random bar that was still open after we closed up. Greasy fried cheeses and stage makeup is a wonderful combination for falling in love.
People who love to drive longs distances. People who love mayonnaise. People who react strongly at the mention of drugs.
I was scrolling down to actually read some examples and those are it? Seriously?
A little help would be nice.
Wait, what’s wrong with mayonnaise?
Don’t get me fucking started
Nothing. But there’s this segment of the boomer generation that’s notoriously obsessed with it. They put it on everything.
No doubt they all got exposed to the same tv commercial and it took.
Or they grew up Bri’ish and were force fed it with fish and potatoes.
Mayo is a god damn perfect condiment, it goes with just about everything!
I will fight you over this!
It is a decent lube at best
Nah it’s a fucking horrible lube.
For sandwich mate… For the sandwich I swear
Yeah then where’s the bread huh?
I don’t love to defend advertising/marketing, but your statement implies that once something has been advertised, organic interest/enjoyment becomes impossible.
Sure, there might’ve been a big ad push that rocketed mayo to the top of people’s condiment lists. But there are dozens of other things that could also create interest (new foods that pair well with it, new recipes that are shared culturally, loss of a competing product, diet changes)
Bizarre, I’ve never encountered this, but maybe I’m just avoiding that segment of people, or the mayo lobby wasn’t as on point in Oz
I know this guy who puts it on jello
I knew a guy who put it on sandwiches with peanut butter
This one read like a joke with a punch line
He died because his job got outsourced to the Philippines and he couldn’t afford medical care when he got sick.
😮
or you’re just hanging out with your friends re-creating scenes from your favorite movies outside (or LARPing).
