i wonder if companies that advertise on tumblr realize that i am 300% less likely to buy their product specifically because i saw it advertised on tumblr and i am a creature of spite
I am a social media marketing expert for a living, and I can also 300% confirm this is true.
You should elaborate more on that! Does the spite really influence people’s purchasing habits? I’ve always wondered whether we were tricking ourselves into thinking adverts don’t have their intended effect on us.
Spite absolutely can have an affect on purchasing habits. It’s not that we think we’re ‘above it’ - well, actually, we do, but that’s not what influences whether we’ll purchase something based on an ad on a site like tumblr. It’s invasive advertising that’s the issue. For example, on places like Facebook, ad integration is set up to look the same as a regular Facebook link post. We may not notice it right away, but it will more than likely stick in our subconscious. We’re not assaulted by it.
That’s not what’s happening here. Yahoo is running test advertising platforms to determine what users on tumblr will respond to the best. In case you haven’t noticed, there have been several versions of ads running across here recently, with increased turnover in regards to ads testing. This is tumblr and yahoo working to determine what we’ll respond to.
The problem they’re facing is that, unlike platforms like Facebook and Twitter, where each post looks the same as the next post, tumblr posts have an almost infinite variety, due to the fact that this is essentially supposed to be the back end dashboard to our own completely customizable blogs/websites.
(Truthfully, we probably were never meant to spend so much time on the back end, but that’s what tumblr has evolved into.)
So what that means is tumblr has a problem in that they need to get ads to us that people will respond to, and they need to do it in such a way that’s not assaulting to the end user (us). Yet, advertisers don’t want to have to create hyper-customized ads that will flow better on a platform like this. They want tumblr to create a template that they can fill in with their ad specs, and be done with it (we ad/marketing people are just as fucking lazy as everyone else).
So, what this ends up meaning for us is lots of ads we hate, and ads we won’t respond to, because we want tumblr to stay streamlined the way we like (see: all hate spewed at every update ever), and that can’t happen if yahoo wants to make money off of their gagillion-dollar deal. They will keep testing ad variations on us to figure out what works, which none of them will because every ad they integrate is seen as an ‘interruption’ by us. Oh, and it doesn’t help that tumblr users are some of the most viscous people in social media. You give us an ad that gets in our way, and we’ll tear you four new assholes.
tl;dr Yahoo wants to make money off of us with ads that don’t work because the advertising industry is too lazy to make ones that will. And we’re the ones who suffer for it.
The companies that are winning the tumblr marketing game are the ones like dennys that create their own blogs and manage to make their posts so entertaining that people willingly reblog them. Unfortunately for Yahoo, they haven’t figured out how to monetize that yet.
A new lawsuit, filed by a Georgia woman, claims that Albany police officers beat her so badly, and sat on her noticeably pregnant belly that it caused her to have a miscarriage.
Lawyers for Kenya Harris filed the case in federal court recently, according to Courthouse News. Harris explained that the incident happened when she went to the Albany Police Department back in May of 2011. She was there to pick up her son – a minor – after he had been arrested.
After waiting five hours for her son, Harris told Officer Ryan Jenkins that it had been an extremely long time, and she needed to return home soon to take care of her other children.
“Defendant Officer Jenkins stated that he did not appreciate the tone in which she was communicating with him, and further stated that if she continued he would take her head and ‘put it to the floor,’” Harris charged in the lawsuit.
She reiterated that she needed to take care of her other children. That’s when Officer Jenkins made good on his threats and decided to use force against the obviously pregnant woman.
“Defendant Officer Jenkins, without provocation, grabbed plaintiff, who weighs less than one hundred twenty (120) pounds, by her neck and slammed her to the ground,” the lawsuit explained.
“Plaintiff momentarily blacked out and came to with defendant Officer Jenkins sitting on her back, and with his knee on her arm. Plaintiff was pregnant at the time.
“Defendant Officer Jenkins put handcuffs on plaintiff and slammed her against the wall. Plaintiff was placed into an interrogation room after she was beaten and handcuffed.”
In utter agony, Harris begged for medical attention, but every officer she spoke to refused her request.
For her troubles, she was charged with obstruction, and spent the night in the Dougherty County Jail.
Harris contends that the beating, including having her stomach sat on by the officer, caused her miscarriage shortly after the incidence. She also had injuries to her knee, neck and bruising all over her body.
The federal lawsuit specifically names Officers Ryan Jenkins and Richard Brown, Jr., Police Chief John Proctor, and the City of Albany.
“With malice, defendants Officer Jenkins and with the compliance of Officer Brown, repeatedly slammed Ms. Harris, causing her severe physical harm and the loss of her baby, when less force was required and should have been used,” the lawsuit said.
Where’s all the anti-choice, I mean, “”pro-life”“ activists.
