When i was very young (around 3-5) i was giving everyone the middlefinger, because people laughed when a ~4y.o. does it. Only till my Mom told me, that it meant ‘i like you’. Of course, I immediatly stopped doing it. Can’t remember how long i believed it, but probably an uncomfortable long time.


This is your opportunity to build one.


I think you are a bit too general. Advertising has its place. It is not always negative. If You have a new product, like a new bike that helps with backpain (just as an example). Most of your targetgroup probably has already a bike and isn’t looking for an improvement because their current bike is good enough. They don’t even know there could be a more fitting bike for them. You do advertising not only to maximize You revenue but also to let people know about your new product and what it does better than the other bikes. Sure it’s not always that way and marketing gets abused like hell… But there are non nefarious reasons to advertise.
But yeah… When big companies do it, it’s usually crap to manipulate. One of the main reasons i switched from design (which is often just marketing) to programming.
Ich bin so froh, das es bei uns in der Stadt regelmäßig einmal im Monat Sperrmüll gibt. Sonst würde ich den müll nie los werden
A dew days ago ist saw an older Dude in a Bike, taking all the left turns in one of our roundabout. (Germany) I know that he rode for at least 3 hours. He wanted to reach 200 rounds, i think. Hope he made it.
