“How can disaster be exploited by cynical social media companies?”I’m glad you asked, hypothetical person that I made up!Since the invasion of Ukraine last night, our site traffic has jumped up to 160% of average capacity and is still increasing [Thread]— Hexbear (@chapo_chat) February 24, 2022
In regards to the point about amazon and how we click, buy, ship and receive in hours and that helps fuel our consumption habits and if we thought more about it, like a physical store catalogue, we probably wouldn't buy it...who has that much spare money to just be buying everything thats advertised to them? So to anyone who happens across our little site who is like this, instead of buying trinkets from amazon, click the little "donate" link at the bottom of hexbear. Your money will go to much better use.
You don’t need to buy everything that’s advertised to you any more than you have to comment on every post you see. But if you window shop enough and have the money, you will buy something eventually. And I’m assuming there’s some sort of normal distribution where the top buyers buy the majority of the products, but nearly everyone buys something on occasion
I mean, yeah, ads obviously work or else they wouldn't be throwing them in our faces all the time, but I guess I don't have that kind of money. Ads don't work on you when you're broke! :agony-shivering:
