Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds

  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.

      3D printers are not exempt form marketing

      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.
