Can you elaborate more?
I am uncertain if you are saying that I was engaging in the behavior you are describing or if you are describing behavior you have observed regularly in discussions like these.
My question was meant more to think about what constitutes an advertisement for the purposes of a hypothetical "50% tax on all advertising revenue" proposed by the parent comment.
- rolph 6y agono not you but digital advertising in general. i think this is a misfire on my part and should be a reply to [Marcus] up thread.
- rolph 6y agoas far as the elaboration part i could if you like but in general, a yes means yes , and no means nothing i want to hear so ill act like i heard yes, attitude does not make new customers, but rather anticustomers. This creates a vector toward hostility rather than adoption.
- marcus_holmes 6y agoI've heard this so often in marketing talks - "it takes 5 touches to make a sale, so that's 4 'no's' you've got to get through to get a 'yes'". Makes me sick. But it clearly works, even though we hate it. So I think the goal is to make it not work. Like any other antisocial behaviour that we'd like to tone down in our society - tax the shit out of it.
