It literally gives the gladiator a huge advantage bc there is no telegraph for the skewer unblockable!

Let me know if you guys still expierience this glitch.

I think that we actually need to define a new but also widely adopted assumption to marketing in general. Everyone agrees that ads used to be way better and recently almost every ad you see is trash and brainrotty and makes you want to skip immediately.

Remember the hilarious doritos ads? Remember the fire apple ads? Remember the cool aesthetic coke and pepsi ads, who would also throw in some funny?

My point is that we're at a time where everyone's saying, and they are right, that ads are trash now. And this means eventually the marketers of the world are going to have to pivot, and obviously some have already chosen to pivot to AI.

I do not think this is the right choice though.

I genuinely think that we have to define the following assumption: Marketing is a human to human endeavor, and the goal as the marketer is to add an amount of humanity to the content that when a potential user sees it, genuinely connects to something human in them.

And if we make the ads using AI then it would be like the difference between me talking to you in person, and me sending you a video of a character saying what I "would" say. There is an extremely large amount of human connection lost there, and I think that the human connection needs to reclaim its rightful place at the foundation of the marketing industry.

I feel that this is somewhat obvious but it isn't being acted on so I feel it needs to be said. Any thoughts or opinions? Disagreements welcome

I have become quite tired of all of the dev's (a lot of them new and vibe coding) who literally just create apps that exploit the parts of humanity we all know aren't the best. The type of devs that think in that classic social media exploitation mentality of "how do I get more clicks", "maximize users to stay as long as possible", "how can I distract people with my website to exploit their found time" and forgetting to look at the actual metrics that matter, "how helpful is my work to users", "are users happy with the price", "are my users better off because of my app".

Personally this is why I love building productivity apps. I love to increase the ability for humans to do what humans do best rather than separate us further from our best! There is no question if your productivity app is properly priced and solves a real problem that it will make the users better off. And all the feedback that comes back is about how users were helped or suggesting improvements rather than, "this app is so addicting..."

Anyway if your reading this what are your thoughts?
