Those pornstar tweets sure do look like paid promotions... article implies they are organic, but they don't look that way to me.

- derefr 13y agoI have a feeling that pornstars know all about the "unsolicited, easily quotable backpat" trick. Enthusiastically edorse random things you like, and--if the recipient persoh/company understands marketing-industry SOP--you'll get endorsed in turn. (You can notice this in, for example, every blog post or podcast Patrick McKenzie has put out lately. It almost feels like he has a secret cabal he's colluding with to pass traffic between then, for all they mention each-other in shining terms--but it's just unsolicited praise. A war of gifts, you might say.

- nraynaud 13y agoI understood they are quite clearly paid. Part of the campaign.
- eli 13y agoI could believe they are organic or at least not specifically bought (note the swag in one picture). Fun fact: IANAL, but it might actually be illegal to have people tweet stealth paid endorsements on your behalf: http://www.business.ftc.gov/documents/bus71-ftcs-revised-endorsement-guideswhat-people-are-asking http://www.business.ftc.gov/documents/bus71-ftcs-revised-end...
- NKCSS 13y agoProps for using I-ANAL in a porn thread ;)
- BrandonY 13y agoOne of those pornstars is wearing a shirt that reads "@eat24 is the official sponsor of my muchies." I'm not sure how that could be less organic without removing all the carbon.
- robryan 13y agoI didn't get that implication, I assume they are paid in some way. Even if not on an outright per tweet basis.
