Also, take it from a squid- clams don’t meditate. They’re big gooey messes of anxiety in a shell.

    People are like piranahs on Lemmy when it comes to anything ad-adjacent lol. It’s good to be vigilant, but damn, not EVERYTHING is something, lol. Honestly, getting all riled up over an ad someone saw in a subway and was amused by is pretty shellfish of them…

        Sirs can I please have your attention!

        These days we’re outraged almost exclusively by AI. Please proceed to re write your comments, assuming the image was made entirely by a computer and OP is a bot.

        Well you couldn’t tell now lol, but when I commented, about 25% of the comments were accusing OP of being a corporate shill or similar “you’re just giving Spotify free advertisement” stuff.

    Those 2019 people were just another year away from finding out what an actually crazy year looks like.

    What I see here is an intentional play on words and guess what? There literally is one Clam Meditation playlist.

    I know the internet has dumbed down our humour senses with videos, but how does anyone look at this and not see it as an obvious and intentional dad joke?

    “immortalized” is a strong word for an ad that stays up for maximum a month long

      Careful, my comment was removed for jokingly saying OP was a shill for not outright saying Spotify wasn’t paying him.

        Very polite (especially to Squid) skepticism should be okay. Accounts can get hacked, accounts can get sold, marketers are damn good.

        You might appreciate my last comment btw

          Absolutely, it should be. I was being very sarcastic in my other post and basically said Squid didn’t outright say he wasn’t being paid, so that MUST mean he’s being paid and it was removed with a message saying I shouldn’t call a mod a shill.

          Which honestly makes me think that I struck a nerve now.

          I used to hate the hail corporate subreddit back in the day because literally anything with a logo was considered an ad by them, however nobody can deny that that kind of deceptive advertising totally happens.

        Sorry, it didn’t look like a joke to me, it looked like a personal attack.

        I have restored it.

        Next time, please contact me in a PM if you have an issue with something like this rather than air it in public.

      Oh yeah, that’s totally what I’m doing by literally pointing out that they’re watching their users in my headline.

      I know “they’re spying on you” always entices me to subscribe to a service.

        Here’s what I got when I mentioned a popular 24hr American diner chain a month back:

        Pretty great. It made me rethink the post actually. Probably 1% of my comments/posts are indistinguishable from advertisements… sometimes I’ll end up self censoring.

        For example, did you notice I didn’t mention the diner was Denny’s, who for a limited time is INTRODUCING: THE BERRY WAFFLE SLAM® (Breakfast in a Liège of its own)?

          I didn’t know you could mention Denny’s without a story about someone winding up in a fistfight in the parking lot.

          We don’t have one where I live, and the rumor mill about why the last one closed was that it was the result of a knife fight one early early morning between a couple of prostitutes who got blood everywhere and the owner decided “fuck it, not worth keeping open.”

            I believe it.

            Went to one that had 60” flatscreens throughout the diner, all streaming the CCTV feed.

            Assumed at 3am it’s easiest to get across potential consequences of actions to rowdy drunks by pointing at a screen that actually shows the misbehavior live.

    8 million is dramatically underselling how many people live in the metro area - that’s only the city limits.
