I can see how the ugly ad could get more clicks. It looks so different from everything else that you're naturally curious to see what it leads to.
I will also add that the "professionally designed" ad is kind of busy. It has so many things going on (some text in all caps, different colors, some quoted, illustration doesn't add much value, arrows that don't mean anything) that it doesn't really catch your attention or call you to action. The "ugly" ad, however, gets to the point.
- TeeMassive 6y agoIn addition, I would be more interested in the "amateur" one because the "professional" one looks like "yet another generic corporate ad diluted to the lowest common denominator". With the hand-written one it reminds me of those YouTube tutorials that saved my butt more than one time during university.
- SilasX 6y agoI don't know, I've seen that style on Facebook ads a lot and I'm kind of numb by now to the style of "oh, look, this was hastily scrawled together, isn't that so edgy and real?"
- civilized 6y agoPersonally I'm completely numb to the "every word in a different font and some random ones on banners" style that was so inescapable in the 2010s, that it ended up on those horrible t-shirts for, like, Deranged Girlfriends Who Are Proud Gun Nuts
- vmception 6y agowait you don't realize thats a meme? there is a bot that poorly creates phrases for targeted subcultures and digitally affixes them onto T-shirt designs and makes targeted ads for them. per usual with T-shirt sites, when people purchase, the design is created on a real t-shirt at that point in time. there is a whole subreddit about the results.
- lwhalen 6y agoGot a link to that subreddit for us plebs not in the know?
- jdeibele 6y agoLooks like https://old.reddit.com/r/TargetedShirts/ https://old.reddit.com/r/TargetedShirts/
- civilized 6y agoIt was a pre-existing broad advertising trend that reached perfection in that meme.
- randycupertino 6y agoMy favorite healthcare "cringe shirt" is this one: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0928/7420/products/t-shirt-patient-s-last-comfort-14_large.jpeg?v=1493390337 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0928/7420/products/t-shirt... I am humble, so humble! My humility is even written on my shirt! Also, there are some badass mock angel wings drawn on my back, in case you had been forgotten of my magnanimity.
- civilized 6y agoFor some reason I am really impressed that this shirt correctly spelled "their" every single time it was used.
- tomnipotent 6y agoAgreed. Along with the LinkedIn messages with my name or my companies name on some piece of paper some random person is holding at whatever company bought a list with me on it.
- chrismcb 6y agoBut which one is the ugly one? I wound argue that A is the ugly one.
