I get the need for promoting something but there's a difference between calling attention to a product or service and highlighting the benefits of it vs. this Edward Bernays fantasy world bullshit that's just noise and distraction instead of having anything to do with what's being sold. Car commercials or ones for a/c repair or whatever don't really bother me. It's the stuff like the shoehorned diversity or the lame jokes or the stupid celebrity endorsements that are completely meaningless. It's just nonsense.
And I disagree with the Youtube comment. The shit on the front page is artificially inflated, just like everything else these tech companies get their hands on. "Curated" search results where things are hidden, etc. Never heard one person young or old in real life bring up that Mr. Beast guy, other than to say what a faggot he is. It's not a meritocracy where the people are demanding to see some clickbait queer soyfacing every video. It's controlled like every other form of media.

You're right but I think I am too. Every fucking YouTube vid thumbnail has a soyface dude or an arrow pointing to something in a circle. It's because people click on it.
I could go to the default youtube page and click on nothing.
Most people go to the default youtube page and say to themselves, "This looks interesting." Even though it's curated.
Without curation, every forum on the 'net would be so far to the right that grandmothers would be posting on facebook about maybe it's time to actually start lynching again. So they curate to the lowest common denominator most of the time and it pushes smarter people away. I hope this is ultimately a mistake for them.

Thanks for reminding me about this one. These people are way overdue for a culling. They serve almost no purpose at all now with the internet around and housing contracts being entirely fill in the blank forms. 6%? Go fuck yourself.

The biggest not-so-closeted white supremecist at my high school became a cop, and he's the only one I'm aware that became one. He ended up having to take a job on the other side of the country because he assualted his ex-girlfriend, which put him on the radar of a bunch of local departments. He also worked as a corrections officer for a bit.
I'll add that he had some tattoos representative of his pride in his German heritage (sort of), and he had to have some of those lazed off because they were getting on the way of him landing a law enforcement job.
I knew some people from college who became cops, but not well enough to say if they made a good choice-career wise. If anything, a lot of them were pretty straight-laced and didn't seem to have any fun.

Delivery peoplesters.
Low IQ Rascal monkeys that do everything in their power to leave your items in the open to be stolen when hardly any effort could do the opposite. I hope more Amazon warehouses burn down with dozens of Rascals dead.

I respect sales in that it's the hardest job and the most important job. Cold calling and always being under pressure to hit a number might as well be torture in my book, and I appreciate anyone who has the skill set to keep up with it.
However, sales is not the most intellectually tasking job, and there are definitely some successful sales professionals who became way too arrogant and have overreaching egos because they're raking in the dough.

WWAWD people who just give up a YouTube search if what they're looking for doesn't automatically fill in as they're typing it.
I had to shout at someone to just type a specific thing into the search field recently instead of relying on auto suggestion.

Journalists
I'm not even being edgy here. We don't need them. They're not just obsolete, they're worse than obsolete, they're just a propaganda arm of the establishment (or the democratic party in the US, which is the same thing).
If I need to know what's going on in the world, I can communicate with eye witnesses using modern technology. I don't need a middle man. I *especially* don't need a middle man pushing leftist propaganda.

I was buying beer before golfing over the weekend and a girl probably about 5 years old says, “daddy they have Mr. Beast (candy) bars.” His response was, “I don’t know what that means.”

Didn't know Florentine had a daughter. What is she, FIVE?
I'm sure some of them are great, just like most of the other professions listed here. But in my office days before WFH they would swan about trying to show off because they assumed incorrectly that they made more money than everyone else and that they could get a job anywhere. In reality they made less than the engineers and they mostly had jobs because they were mates with the boss.

Yes, you're both right.
I went to Comm school and there were a few classes that were mandatory.
There are two types of people who go into advertising that I saw, one group was the bright eyed kids who wanted to make interesting and funny ads that sold the product well and the other were cold blooded psychos who either hadn't made it to politics yet or wanted to stick with the money.
We had to take an ethics class because of that second group. We were being taught all sorts of scumbag shit about how to manipulate the base instincts of people, how to use their fears and anger to get them to do whatever you wanted.
I wanted to go into advertising because I was in the first group. I sat in class with some of the second group sprinkled in and they are, without a doubt, some of the most evil people I have ever met. The banal sort who thinks it's just neat to put a screen with nonstop commercials at the gas pump. The kind who roll their eyes at Ladybird Johnson for banning billboards along scenic routes on the interstate.
If these people could hold your mom or child hostage to get you to buy something they'd do it without a second thought.
I was gonna say pornstars and prostitutes are who I look down on, but at least they pay the price with their bodies and reputations, marketing and advertising people go through life fucking up everything and get paid obscene amounts to do so anonymously.
I can't tell you how much I hate this cunt from his face alone. Never seen his vids or heard him speak and only have a vague idea about what he does. I'm sure most people consider it harmless entertainment, but it sounds insidious as fuck to me and he looks like a twat who treats everyone like shit in real life.

I would probably strangle that person in real life. I would want to anyway. My body tensed up just reading this.
"You have a brain! Don't let the robot control you, fucktard!" I'd scream it.
I didn't know this type of person existed.

Opie and Anthony. A stupid shock radio show. Broke more news stories and did more hard hitting interviews in ten years on XM and Sirius. Than literally all other news media combined. They also questioned repeatedly why the 'news' would hyper focus on completely vapid and worthless stories like the Mel Gibson tapes or the chimp attack lady. As if chimps (ring the bell) might randomly tear down your doors and rip the faces of the your entire family off when you are having dinner. "Could it happen in your neighborhood?".
If the entire news media went away it would make a positive change. As 99% of what they report is trivial or propaganda. I cannot remember one time in my life I ever got anything useful from any mainstream news outlet compared to a random person reporting it on their own personal blog or social media profile. Like if you want to know the same and demographics of a school shooter you have to actively avoid the news because they don't even report those things anymore.

Why most funsters here work in IT?
Discuss. It's like all the forum posters are IT experts. Are only IT jobs left in the white collar corporate world nowadays? *Thread inspired by @NoBacon Presentation mishap.*
