tech ppl love to say this shit and it's so revealing lmao "there's a market therefore it works" only holds if your definition of "works" is purely "i can get people to pay for it". which is incredibly soulless & cynical but also is exactly what all these ppl believehttps://twitter.com/shl/status/1220315579371773952 …

oh i'm not saying ads don't work at all but it's dumb as shit to put out statements like "market => it works" and not even address any of the recent studies that show the opposite (esp in online ads). if u notice he literally hid a reply that tried to point this out

We've been studying what advertising does for over 100 years and we still don't really know. The primary discovery since 1990 is that advertising rates are lowest were it is easiest to verify the link between ad impression and sale.
