The Who did an entire album where they jokingly plugged products, including on the album cover.
Comment on Weezer straight up writing ads for audible.com
owlboy@lemmy.world 8 months agoIt’s interesting. There are many songs infer the years about products the song writer likes.
I’m thinking about beers, and cars, and instruments, and various other things. Including games and movies and books.
It’s funny that once it’s a website, that crosses the line.

People are incapable of applying critical thinking to traditions. They grew up with beer and car ads, so that’s normal. Website ads are new, so they get treated with basic critical thinking and are hated, because that’s the logical way to feel about all ads.

It’s not the website part that I find stupid. It’s the advertising for free.
I also think that those things are stupid. Whatever company owns the product isn’t going to be happy if you take it for free, so don’t give that company something for free.
