Ironic that you literally threw an ad right in the parent's face through this simple comment.
- j1vms 10y agoHe doesn't want advertising in his life, but guy goes and immediately "shits in his head" using Bill Hicks of all people!
- brbrodude 10y agoThat's not an ad, that's genuine interaction. The poster is not an actor(or someone trying to act a role), not an algorythm, not a corporation, not a marketer or salesperson. We must learn to discern between stuff if we want to consider ourselves "real-worlders" or whatever. If you get the concepts mixed up in your mind then your discernment gets distorted and you start conflating what's authentic and what's artificial. That's why it shits in your head.
- brainfire 10y agoSeemingly-genuine comments like that could be a plausible future step for escalation of advertising. I'd guess there are people who would "rent" access to their active social media accounts to a company operating a bot capable of writing subtle "recommendation"-style comments. Sort of a merger of blog-comment-spam-bots and paid "influencer" posts.

- Angostura 10y agoI structured my comment to be as close to an obvious paid-for advertising comment as possible. I'm gratified that you thought it was a bona fide comment. I've never actually watched Bill Hicks.
- brbrodude 10y agoheh, funny. But that's the point, deceiving is REALLY easy. But without trust and good faith, things start to get weird exponentially, it adds up. And so, as I saw in another article, truth becomes the roadkill.
- imh 10y agoI think that's the joke.
