I hate to be one of those people who comments on the meta-article as opposed to the article. but this is something I found really interesting.
I didn't even realize I was reading something from Happify until halfway into the article. The whole thing was very interesting, especially as a person who just turned 29. While this article isn't necessarily an advertisement, it did cause me to google Happify and see what it was about. As I did this it occurred to me: this is what "sponsored content" should be! When you see "sponsored content" on a website it doesn't have to be some trash advertisement that's made to look like the rest of the site. It could be something as good as this article!
- tdkl 10y agoYou should watch the last season of South Park. This isn't what we want instead of ads.
- tgb 10y agoAs someone who won't watch it, can you describe it?
- kristofferR 10y agoIt's very hard to explain, but a person is really an ad. It's a sarcastic and smart commentary and meta-plot throughout the whole season about the dangers of advertisements being disguised and perceived as being something genuine.
- tgb 10y agoThanks.
- mattdotc 10y ago>this is what "sponsored content" should be I disagree. I don't mind sponsored content if it is of high quality and is interesting, but only if it is clearly labeled as being a paid advertisement and I know from the outset. Your awareness of this fact will affect your judgement and how you interpret what you've read.
