Yeah, those ad are dumb because they are actually better than the game they're advertising. I don't understand how it's even legal, or even smart since they're telling you to play a game that's nothing like what they're showing. It's like selling Diablo 4 with an ad showing your character using an extensive dialog tree to debate morality and ethics with Lilith.

I'm guessing it's like how scam emails will intentionally be full of typos to weed out the smart people, leaving only gullible idiots to take money from. If they actually cared about people playing their game because they're actually into whatever the game is, they wouldn't be putting out ads like that in the first place.

Amount of milk is a newbie trap since you're still stuck with the base replenishment rate (it doesn't scale with capacity for balance reasons) so you're not really gaining anything other than long term storage capacity. ToxicSlurpee posted:It was some online thing that had a name that started with CIV. It looked so generic I've forgotten basically everything. Never did play it but it was in fact apparently just an extremely simple only pay to win strategy kind of thing mean to milk money out of whales. The adverts often said stuff like "build a kingdom, save your queen!" even though there was no queen saving in the game. Those softcore porn "Play now, My lord" ads were by Evony which were at best a scam. There's a whole drama/history because they had links to the chinese goldfarming industry and tried to sue some guy who kept making vids about their lovely practices. In true internet fashion Evony was then ripped off by a copycat company called Kingory, who uses pretty much the same ad style but uses copyrighted characters instead of naked ladies Fishstick has a new favorite as of 18:02 on Dec 10, 2019 |

I have literally no idea what the title of that book is. Edit: oh poo poo, it's a poster. For some reason I thought it was a booklet like they hand out for kids studying for their learner's permit.

These ads are old as hell and don't even play anymore, but sometimes, I'm sitting around with my mind basically totally blank and suddenly I'll remember every terrible Microsoft surface ad with an "entrepreneur" talking about how they just couldn't do their jobs without the surface. Such as... new york guy on a hoverboard who makes toy robot balls that will "change the world" somehow or two idiot sisters who have a "salmon fishery" that is really just a front to sell people $120 yoga pants with a fish pattern on them none of the things these people are claiming to do on their MS surface is ever anything you would ever do on an MS surface.

Star Trek and Star Wars fan crossover is probably at least 60%, and likely much higher when you get to the hardcore ones.

RagnarokAngel posted:Youre a chessmaster arent you No, but I'm unfortunately working in marketing right now and this is a real thing that people do and think is galaxy-brain smart. They made an inbuilt talking point for their ad that will let people identify themselves as part of a group by pointing out a flaw in their ad, which will often happen on public social media channels and serve as a form of amplification for their message. It literally allows a consumer to say "only REAL star wars nerds would know..." and that type of phrase is something consumers just LOVE to say. Bonus points if they then make a "corrected" ad later to "appease" all the nerds who pointed it out, putting those people on an undeserved pedestal and opening the door for them to say "I TOLD U BRO" on social media, again amplifying the brand messages. If I were a YouTube Marketer I'd have made a 26 minute video talking about this with 2 ads and product placement and then linked you to that and earned a seventh of a cent for doing so, but I'm not and I hate this industry.

I think it was in this thread that someone suggested wiping clean your social media ad preferences every so often. I'd like to thank you, because instead of getting a million ads about spanx and ugly fruit (millennial demographic I guess?), I'm getting delightfully random content like this. I don't know if that's a good price for raccoon fur or not, but I do have to point out that it probably helps sell your product if you can spell it correctly.

Maybe that would do something about the ads I keep getting for a smart dildo that you use to do kegels while playing games on your phone. I felt extremely old when I realized that yeah, I'm in the target demographic for that item.

There is a Cadillac commercial right now that plays the end of a Christmas song over and over again, like 6 times in a row. I mean, I was never going to buy one, but I didn't previously wish them ill.

I did that thing where you could watch ads on twitch and get free bits to give streamers and all the ads were like 40k dollar cars and cruises and poo poo. Like, who the gently caress do you think both has that kind of money but will also sit through a 30 second ad for pennies..

the numbers don't work. nothing about the digital ad economy works. everything is a lie cushioned by bullshit and the only actual provable service the internet provides is a massive surveillance system for capitalists, and much more recently, the police. none of this is accidental. they don't care they're wrong and they don't care we're laughing at them.
