Gosh. I know this is a cartoon, and it’s funny… but I’d love to debunk content like this. It is really hard to get over the common (incorrect) view that marketing==privacy invading ads. The fixation of hatred on marketing is one aspect: promotions. Of which advertising is a subcategory. Another aspect, that most do not hate, is product. Marketing needs to be reframed by the technology community as market-making between suppliers and customers; and not be as reductive. If you’re a product manager, you’re fundamentally doing a marketing function. Only in recent decades have product managers been placed within engineering orgs to facilitate communications, which in turn has spurred some to perform revisionist history.
