Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoI disagree, I don’t fall into the category you stated. My walls are lined with 80s memorabilia and 3d printed things I have created. I reject anything advertised to me and will only purchase tech that I have sought out that meets my needs.

If this irony, good job because I think most people will fall for it.

I don’t think it is. I know a few people like this, and im heading in that direction myself. The only kinds of “ads” that work on me are when a number of equally nerdy people I know find a new thing, and they’ve demonstrated that it has helped them with something or they are genuinely enjoying using it. Like 3D printing. Its semi-pointless most of the time but it is a genuinely fun hobby, which when combined with 3D modeling and post-processing skills becomes an actual craft. I didn’t get into it until a good number of people around me did.

80s memorabilia and 3D printers are not exempt form marketing. They are products just like anything else.

Case in point: Bambu and Autodesk sponsoring every Youtube maker. (Fuck both Bambu and Autodesk, BTW.)

They’re not exempt from marketing. I am. I only use proof-of-use from those around me.
