About to? They’ve been there for a while now
Good thing we don’t have anyone infiltrating our favorite communities on Lemmy to market a movie, like the Golden Globe winning, Oscar nominated sensation of summer 2023, “Barbie”, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services!
(Watch the Oscars on Sunday please.)
I haven’t been paying attention. I can’t believe it’s so soon. Are you nominated for anything, movie superstar Margot Robbie?
Hey wait a minute, something doesn’t smell right here!
Contrary to my lovely wife’s Chanel’s New Eau De Parfum™, which smells diving - almost as good as her Calvin Klein deep euphoria™.
Anyways, color me impressed, Oscar Nominated Producer Margot Robbie!
Which is easy with my wife’s new Splat™, 100% vegan hair dye, made with baobab extract and formulated with quinoa!
Ok that’s all the Margot Robbie sponsored products a 10 second google search shows me ;)
For what it’s worth, I’ve watched Barbie while I still haven’t seen Oppenheimer, or even the first part of Dune, so there’s that. Make what you will of it. I actually liked it.
All we get on Lemmy is the dumbest tier of Russian shills pretending to be communists to help Republicans, which is a really surreal thing to type out.
On some level, I kind of long for a more innocent time when the most malevolent force was just some Sony viral marketing pushing “PlayStation exclusive” posts to the front page ahead of a game launch.
It is headed the way of quora. Where almost every response is a marketing post. Those who stayed on reddit aren’t bothered by this anyways.
Subreddits like r/BuyItForLife is very vulnerable to this
They specifically used r/buyitforlife as an example of how to market on Reddit. Thing is that the trustworthiness came from users and this will dilute the trust in that sub rendering it useless. I hate what they have become.
Even without marketing it wasn’t great. Someone recommended a product I had personal experience with. I The product had fallen apart after 3 years.
The users suggest products with a good name brand despite not having actually used the product for any length of time.
Their posts are all, “I just bought X and love it so it must get ‘buy it for life’ quality.”
How do we stop
the enshittification
of everything?
It’s cliche but it all starts with you. Don’t tolerate it to begin with. Have a moral compass that understands that infinite growth is inherently flawed and there’s nothing wrong with something remaining niche. Remember in all your interactions every day that it is always a person first and what they represent second.
