I don't know why you're being downvoted. Rogan is a good proxy of Hollywood creatives, which in turn has an enormous impact on how often Macs show up as default movie props.
- scarface74 8y agoIsn’t a better “proxy” for how well the Mac is doing reported sales numbers?
- tkxxx7 8y agoHave you seen reported sales numbers specifically for Hollywood creatives? Will you ever?
- coldseattle 8y agoApple sends hardware to movie production companies. They’ve been doing this for years.
- fortythirteen 8y agoThere's a big difference between the AfterEffects guys and the writers. Rogan's complaints were as someone whose career requires massive amounts of writing and understandably wants a keyboard to have feedback. I'm in complete agreement with him. In their obsession to make the thing thinner and fancier they have rendered it less usable. They've locked themselves into a marketing pattern that precludes them from having a "if it ain't broke" mindset.
- snom380 8y ago..the difference being, Apple can send the hardware, other companies often have to pay for product placements.
- at-fates-hands 8y agoI would also add Rogan has a massive following and is a big influencer in many areas. His opinion could easily affect people thinking about or considering moving to a Mac product. I know a lot of his followers on Twitter are super loyal to the brands he promotes.
- nradov 8y agoConsumer electronics movie props are typically paid advertising placements now. I don't think there's really a default anymore, at least not for big-budget Hollywood productions.
