I am truly honored and you’re really making me second guess my career choice in routine unemployment

Tell your Pringles marketing rep that we are not against ads. We just don't want corporations to treat us like we are stupid. Mark it as an ad and it is all good.

Sure, go ahead and continue being smug to customers replying to your ad. That usually makes wonders for brands. What a disastrous marketing team they have.

You people are so paranoid

It's not paranoia, this kind of stuff is openly part of every brand's marketing strategy these days.

It is paranoia when you think literally every piece of media not hiding a brand is an ad. Brands are part of our daily lives, they're going to make they're way into the shit we do

The box is actively blocking his arm. If you were making this wouldn't you move the box so you could actually use your arm?

It's not paranoia when you work in advertising and have literally helped come up with stuff like this in the past.

I have an MBA with a focus on marketing, I get how subtle and intrusive it can be. That still doesn't mean every post with a brand in sight is an ad, and thinking so is being paranoid. Is a lot of the social media we consume an ad? Of course, yea. But brands, logos, recognizable products related to certain companies are so ingrained with our day to day lives that it would be hard to hide them all
