minus-square@hyperreallink0•edit-211 hours agoShould Warped Tour not be a thing simply because Vans runs it?
minus-squareFlying Squidlink2•edit-211 hours agoI didn’t say it shouldn’t be a thing. Nor would I. I don’t even know how you got from “this is advertising on Lemmy and I don’t like seeing advertising on Lemmy” to “this shouldn’t be a thing at all.”
minus-square@hyperreallink0•11 hours agoWhere is the advertising? I read the article more about a tour rather than an ad op for Vans
minus-squareFlying Squidlink2•11 hours agoYou realize that the tour is a money-making venture and that you would not have known about that money-making venture if not for this article, yes? That’s advertising.
minus-square@hyperreallink0•11 hours agoCan’t remember the last concert I went to that wasn’t a money making venture and wasn’t advertised for me to hear about it somehow. Sure, Vans undoubtedly benefits from exposure. But so do music fans who want to see they favorite bands, and the bands that tour to make money.
minus-squareFlying Squidlink0•edit-211 hours agoAnd that’s fine. But it isn’t news. Do you really want c/news to have endless tour announcements?
minus-square@hyperreallink3•10 hours agoAh now I understand where you’re coming from a little better. Yeah I guess this particular article about a major event didn’t seem as egregious to me.
Ah yes, Nostalgia. Brought to you by Vans™®.
