  • It could be a good product. I neither hate it nor like it.

    I personally know someone in advertisement and viral marketing is more widespread than I think people realize. That is why I would like people to be sceptical about stuff that gets recommended with this kind of frequency (and IMHO with text in a tone that I’ve read in actual viral marketing campaigns) especially if the product is commercial.

    This method of advertising is used because it works and as you can see by the backlash here merely suggesting that it could be an ad and asking people to be sceptical/cautious is taken as breaking a social taboo.


  • My intention is not to personally attack you just to get that out of the way. That is why I prefaced my statement with the tinfoil hat part.

    I don’t know if the company can afford that. I did not look into it enough but I know that viral marketing is not a very expensive marketing strategy and I hate it.

    I can speak only on my experience here on Lemmy where I hear it mentioned with a rather high frequency and in ways that suggest to me that it could be an advert.

    I will not apologize for being sceptical when it comes to commercial product recommendations and I suggest everybody do the same as viral marketing is extremely widespread in the modern net.

    Das ist aber ein komplexes Problem auf das “nur” mehr Geld keine einfache Lösung bringt. Wir brauchen ein richtiges umdenken bei mentaler Gesundheit.
