      If that works on someone, it’s not because the marketer is smart, but because they know how to cast their net where the dumb fish are.

        Yea, but it’s more devious than that. Technology making it possible micro target groups and individuals get kinda scary. If I know enough about you, I can almost convince you if anything. All top tier marketing peeps know this.

          Only if you are of the mindset that it is bad originally. It’s like how Tucker Carlson can make immigrants seem scary.

          This is not how targeted ads work, and doesn’t really seem to be true. It stands to reason that a lot of progressive young people know a lot about their conservative parents or grandparents and yet cannot convince them of anything.

              I’m well aware of Cambridge Analytica and it seems you are not. They did not mind control people.

              They simply had insider knowledge on where to toss their nets.
