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.
Interac if you’re Canadian, and if the store accepts e-transfers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interac
Ah TIL! I think it was finally added as of version 136, fairly recently.
When was that? I only ask because Firefox has vertical tabs now.
Pretty much the same for me except I use a pc to run the tv, with a wireless keyboard and mouse.
You already found the answer but I was going to comment that the pic was a joke… a train wouldn’t even notice those things on the track.
They do have derailers that are designed to specifically pop a train off the tracks though. They are made of steel and are usually put on the end of secondary lines just before they meet a normal line. In the event that if a train car rolls away it ensures that it can’t roll into an active line and cause an accident but will instead get derailed and popped off the tracks.
Was having a party and a buddy had a bunch of weed. Due to a noise complaint the cops showed up at the door so I answered it and talked to the cops. Told them I’d turn the music down a bit and all was good.
Just as I was closing the door and going back to the party I heard the toilet flush. My overly paranoid buddy had flushed all his weed down the shitter.
Pocket change for the Nazi douche nozzle but still nice to see when he doesn’t get his way.
There’s been a lot of impersonated accounts popping up lately, so it doesn’t surprise me they’ve opted to do something like this.
ICE once bit my sister.
Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram,
Not just a Jeep thing. at least not for long.
I’ve never gotten the warnings (yet), mainly just slow loading times or the occasional stallout.
That helps but still stalls out etc on occasion for me, so I use freetube 90% of the time I want to see something on youtube.
I’m not a Ford guy, but they do look pretty good.
Sounds like you want a trail camera.
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
