Clever marketing tactic.
Create hype, pay Forbes for an advertorial, FOMO, virality, a lot of friends or suspicious profiles commenting with emojis, but.........
......I still don't get it.
Am I missing something? :D
People work really hard, often for months, to release their products on this site. And this is #1 today? Itβs not even a product. I feel like Product Hunt is getting trolled here.
Hmm, itβs hard to tell. Maybe itβs just the marketer in me but I donβt trust anything that doesnβt give away any info. This is a bit of a Fyre-fest marketing approach, which honestly worked very well for them in the beginning. I donβt know, I guess it is what it is π
To save someone's time it doesn't do anything. It's pretty dissapointing that they allowed for something like this to take away the shine of actual products that have put time and effort into their launch.
@ginhiniocasteln@langford_morrow ok but do you know what it is? (Pro tip, you can click the three dots to delete a comment if you find out what it is and have a change of heart.)
This is one of the best things I have ever seen on the Internet. Itβs revolutionary. Most of all, this will make the world a better place. I was lucky to get in but Iβve heard from other users that the bigger your donation to one of the charities the higher your name gets in the list. ?makers you are brilliant.
Does anyone else need to know how this operation is tagging, defining, and classifying individual behavior and responsiveness to this campaign as a Wes Anderson film
@m0ham3d There's a tracking pixel in the source from this site: http://intern.world/ which also just asks for an email; this time with a reason :P The people behind it have the eye thing on their twitter too. So it's 100% sure just a very clever marketing campaign for intern.world.
Oh, and a very illegal one too... https://europa.eu/youreurope/cit...
@rashiq Nooo, @melvin1 is right (although 'very illegal' might be OTT). It might up your chances of using legit interest as a basis for your processing (arguments are ongoing where that interest is advertising-related, either way it might help to have done your GDPR data impact assessment), but anonymising IP addresses is no silver bullet. And certainly not where PECR is concerned
@m0ham3d@melvin1 itβs not for intern.world itβs something so much more amazing. I was skeptical and used a burner email but man this is the best thing Iβve seen on the Internet in a log time.
The meme that this marketing campaign is based off of is lowkey anti-Black/minstrel vibes. I donβt understand how anyone could green light this in the current climate.
