They learned that doing that costs money and leaves more evidence the extermination was intentional behind.

This is No Effort November so it's safe to assume he's not putting a ton of work into this one.

Well they got exactly what they wanted, a place where people don't give a shit about anyone else. Fuck em.

Sorry If I didn't explain that right.. the guy was drinking non-stop every single day, to the point you could physically see his liver was shutting down because of his yellowish color. So the bar didn't have much choice and had to cut him off. He was an awesome old guy so no-one wanted to boot him, but if he drinks himself to death the bar would be potentially liable for still serving him so they chose to stop.

Yes, my dad was one of them. I haven't gone to a bar for years but it used to be most smaller bars had at least a few regulars that basically lived there. I remember one old vet that used to show up every day as soon as the bar would open for his daily fix... It got to the point the bar refused to serve him, so he would try and get unsuspecting customers to buy them for him. (This was in the 70's and 80's, there were (or at least seemed to be) a lot more alcoholics back then.)

Also booze used to be a LOT cheaper, so it wasn't nearly as expensive as it would be now.

Accidentally spill water in your bed and the next thing you know you're getting adult diaper ads on every device you own for the rest of your life.

It's already far deeper than him.. he's just what bubbled to the surface in that pot.

If they actually believe that bullshit, chances are pretty good they're already harming their kids psychologically at the very least.

Ya I get what you mean, it doesn't always work out for everyone without getting the word out traditionally, but it does happen.

Personally I think advertising only goes so far before a company just starts looking desperate by saturating the landscape with ads. Maybe that's just me tho lol

While some now invest in some level of traditional advertising, it's not what made them big. As you said with Tesla, they only started advertising when people started realizing they were crap, and even then compared to other vehicle manufacturers they spend little. Go Pro used influencers and content marketing by their customers, the Dollar Shave Club made it to fame through viral videos.

I don't know about that. Tiktok, Lamborghini, Tesla, Krispy Kreme, The Dollar Shave Club, Tupperware, Rolls Royce, Costco, Trader Joe's, Go Pro etc all do little to no traditional advertising and do just fine.

Not that there's anything wrong with some advertising to get the word out, but when you're getting spammed with ads from every angle, that company starts feeling a little scummy to me.

The way I've always looked at it, a good product/service can typically stand on it's reputation. If a company needs to spend millions on advertising to move their stuff, they're probably not all that good or are overpriced. Someone is paying for all that advertising and it always ends up being the consumer.
