Unfortunately false. Someone who doesn't like your brand will find the most tasteless place where your ad appears, screenshot it, and tell everyone how you support that content.
- lmm 6y agoSure, but if you show someone under 35 a screenshot of "hey, brand X supports this kinky porn" the result is going to be a shrug and a "yeah, and?".
- creato 6y agoDoes that matter? Even if it's a small portion of people that care, that's still a loss in sales. The goal of most ads is presumably to upset exactly zero people.
- netheril96 6y agoMore likely the result is "you were viewing porn/that kind of porn?"
- lmm 6y agoNah. No-one cares what kind of porn other people are into.
- aaron695 6y agoIf I have a picture of someone defecating into someone else mouth, or slapping them in the face repeatedly while they cry, with a Domino's ad, you really think no significant market share of people under 35 would care?
- lmm 6y agoThat's what I said.
- aaron695 6y ago1. I think you are not understanding people in the Rust Belt. (I'll assume you don't mean outside the USA, like Indonesia or Vatican City) 2. For the cities, people over 35 don't do cancel culture. Cancel culture is a hack by young people to get experienced executives to do things they don't want to do. But under 35's also believe it and they are the ones stopping the ads. I can't think of any analytical evidence either way. Kraft and Unilevel have run ads on Pornhub. Unilevel backed down a little - "Unilever has insisted that Dollar Shave Club had operational independence and that its head office in London was unaware of the campaign at the time.". Diesel did. Independent products that target under 35's should be running ads if your theory works.
- fallingknife 6y agoNobody who knows that the ads are just put there by an algorithm, and everybody under 35 knows that.
- CapricornNoble 6y agoDepending on your brand/market, that might actually be a good thing.
- Nextgrid 6y agoThis only works because brands themselves are "feeding" the troll by responding to these attacks. Giving them the silent treatment will make the problem go away very quickly as the "troll" will not be fed and will move on to more fruitful trolling opportunities.
