      I seriously think that if Pepsi knows it is important to pick what Peter Parker drinks then Google should know it is important that Peter Parker picks Python.https://twitter.com/sriramk/status/1251727082171727872 …

      Idea partially inspired by @pmarca: we need more storytelling and “high culture” based on an optimistic future with tech. I stopped watching Black Mirror ( a great show) because I was tired of a dystopian future being the only thing portrayed in all pop culture.

      In hindsight, if you were a venture capitalist a few years ago, shouldn’t you have invested in Social Network purely to generate demand for your financial services? That would be close to the highest ROI on any ad spend ever.

          The most obvious ROI on the movie is still most obviously tied to relationships with people depicted in the movie. They are potential acquirers/deal flow/co-investors/LPs/etc. The ROI is hard to be positive if there were any issues on that front.

          Only if your marginal dollar produced sufficient marginal demand, no? Do you think Social Network could've been significantly more well-known than it was?

          One of the most interesting things I've seen recently was a Twitch streamer promoting Ally bank, both talking about the game they were playing and how online-first banking had helped them. Clearly paid promotion, clearly reaching new audiences.

          Content marketing is easier to get right in hindsight.

          I already knew who Mark Zuckerberg was, but the first time I heard the name Peter Thiel was while watching the Social Network.
