I don't recall seeing TikTok billboards or banner ads.
I've never seen a Tesla ad.
Did Facebook advertise? Instagram?
GMail throttled demand with limited invitations.
Until this week you had to apply to get a Dall-E login. Heard of it?
Rolls-Royce and Tupperware do not advertise.
I'm not saying advertising isn't important for products. But it's easy to find enormously-grown counterexamples to your blanket claim.
- gamblor956 4y agoTikTok advertised on Facebook. Tesla used to run billboards in LA and SF and paid influencers to shill their cars. They still market quite heavily today though not through billboards (AI Day is a marketing event.) GMails invitation system was it's marketing, back in the day when people were excited about Google products. Rolls Royce sponsors athletes, which is considered marketing. They also bring cars to auto shows and to various events targeted to the luxury crowd. Tupperware's original business model was literally 100% about marketing. Most people would call it a multi level marketing scheme today.
