anyone else feel like there is an evil side to marketing?

i understand that a lot of companies have good intentions with their products, but sometimes it feels manipulative. anyone else? just me?

>> Keep them hooked (Lead)
>> Introduce offer (Body copy)
>> Show proof (Testimonials)
>> Ask them to buy (CTA)

Airbnb cut all paid growth during Covid (which accounted for 10-20% of new users), and never turned it back on. Instead, invested in PR, events, and brand.

It's rare you see a company get off the paid growth addiction. And seems to be working. A really interesting case study.

Seeing so many accounts locked, tweets that cannot be RT'd, parody profiles shut down, threats against advertisers exercising free speech...

We worried new ownership would make this the "free speech" platform, but right now Twitter's probably the least "free" of the networks.

Our beliefs about aging shape our experience of it.

This is not to say ageism isn’t an issue, but our brains can be among the worst perpetrators.

Thoughts like I’m too old or it’s too late are common reasons we fail to act and live the lives we want.

Deepcrawl rebranding to @lumarhq and targeting the larger web team makes a ton of sense. I've always thought it's a bit off that SEOs are the ones pointing out "this whole part of the site doesn't work on mobile, these pages render very slowly, and btw GA isn't on these pages."
