Podcasts, but same thing:
I wasn't "ready to start up my business" anyway, but if I ever am, you can bet your bottom that I still won't have anything to do with fucking Shopify! ππΌπ€¬ππΌ
When I download podcasts I turn a VPN on my phone to get ads in a language I don't understand.
But fuck, there was a while where it was Swedish Chef style "vendi vundi vundi vu Shopify vendi vu" 3 times in a row every ad insert. Especially for NL.
So I started doing Ireland now because there least offensive accent to hear, and half the ads are for government services.
That ad spot just paid off in that you're sharing it with your community, though. I'd never heard of shopify until now.
Yeah, because who doesn't dream of such wonderful word of mouth as being vilified on a thread about hating ads on an open source forum where most users actively oppose corporations? π
I'd apologize for ruining your streak of good luck, but based on the glibly condescending and confidently wrong first part of your comment, it sounds like you deserve shopify ads π€·π»
Advertisers do want people exactly like you - people for whom their ads stick in the mind, and who will go around telling other people about their product, especially in spaces where their ad play doesn't ordinarily reach. You even repeated part of their copy for us, so now we know generally what service they provide. You might oppose them, as do most people here - but if any person reading this doesn't hold the same lack of regard for corporate interests as you, you're doing exactly what shopify paid for.
Advertising is little more than corporate propaganda - and as the wise cat says, you are not immune to propaganda.
I promise you they don't.
That's not what I'm doing and you'd have known that if you paid attention to context rather than automatically apply your generalizations about ad effectiveness where they don't apply.
Except the "copy" does NOT in fact disclose that. I'm not gonna (in your mind) prove you right by telling you what they do, but one of the many things they DON'T do is helping people start a business.
What kind of contrarian idiot would read this far down a thread specifically about hating ads for product recommendations? Other than yourself, of course.
Fixed it for you
Nobody inherently is, but that doesn't mean that ALL propaganda works on ALL people.
The world isn't a binary like that.
