Where does the article say they were faked?
> While it may be true that Grier only had one audience member at her initial preview, people soon realised that she had posted a nearly identical tweet at the start of the Fringe in 2022. Pity moved tickets both times.
It seems the article is talking about "pity marketing" as a whole, even if true.
- LBTables 3y agoYeah this is the point. Whether the claim is true or not, as a marketing tactic it has nothing at all to do with the quality of the product being sold. Marketing for a comedy show should convince me of the conedian's humor, not try to guilt me into filling an audience seat for them.
- Hnrobert42 3y ago“These cheap and often obvious tactics”, “This manufactured pity”. I don’t know that the article says the events were fake. It questions the motivations of the people posting the events. My comment was that many of these posts may not be part of deliberate “pity, marketing” efforts.
