People are like piranahs on Lemmy when it comes to anything ad-adjacent lol. It’s good to be vigilant, but damn, not EVERYTHING is something, lol. Honestly, getting all riled up over an ad someone saw in a subway and was amused by is pretty shellfish of them…
These days we’re outraged almost exclusively by AI. Please proceed to re write your comments, assuming the image was made entirely by a computer and OP is a bot.
Well you couldn’t tell now lol, but when I commented, about 25% of the comments were accusing OP of being a corporate shill or similar “you’re just giving Spotify free advertisement” stuff.
Are you implying that Spotify used user data to generate these advertisements, rather than just paying the marketing firm that definitely came up with this idea?
That seems like something that could be easily taken just from the api, I feel like if it’s data anyone can get for free, they are fine to use it in ads.
I mean, the users probably didn’t read the ToS but lots of social media and similar have these rules. I feel they should ask for every instance they use individual data for advertising their platform anyway even if the user clicked “Agree” when signing up. ToS;DR calls this “You sign away moral rights”.
I mean if it was a brand new account posting just things like this, sure, I would agree. In this case I recognize OP and give them the benefit of the doubt they aren’t an undercover Shitify agent here to advertise on the shitpost community. Not everything has to be black and white.
Pretty great. It made me rethink the post actually. Probably 1% of my comments/posts are indistinguishable from advertisements… sometimes I’ll end up self censoring.
For example, did you notice I didn’t mention the diner was Denny’s, who for a limited time is INTRODUCING: THE BERRY WAFFLE SLAM® (Breakfast in a Liège of its own)?
I didn’t know you could mention Denny’s without a story about someone winding up in a fistfight in the parking lot.
We don’t have one where I live, and the rumor mill about why the last one closed was that it was the result of a knife fight one early early morning between a couple of prostitutes who got blood everywhere and the owner decided “fuck it, not worth keeping open.”
Went to one that had 60” flatscreens throughout the diner, all streaming the CCTV feed.
Assumed at 3am it’s easiest to get across potential consequences of actions to rowdy drunks by pointing at a screen that actually shows the misbehavior live.
Absolutely, it should be. I was being very sarcastic in my other post and basically said Squid didn’t outright say he wasn’t being paid, so that MUST mean he’s being paid and it was removed with a message saying I shouldn’t call a mod a shill.
Which honestly makes me think that I struck a nerve now.
I used to hate the hail corporate subreddit back in the day because literally anything with a logo was considered an ad by them, however nobody can deny that that kind of deceptive advertising totally happens.
