I’m talking about stuff thats frequently advertised on podcasts and other episodes of online series like “8sleep” (no idea how its spelled) or AthleticGreens or LiquidIV etc
Edit: is it banned to mention actual names, if not just message person if credible
I’ve pretty much made up a rule for myself that I won’t buy anything I’ve heard advertised on podcast
I have the same rule, but that Chumba Casino app sounds so legit that I might make an exception!
mooOO’ DOUGH
DOT COOOM
Have you had a bad experience with a product you bought? Or you just don’t like that they’re sponsoring content you consume? 😂
I’ve near-perfectly insulated myself from all advertising, with podcasts being the only exception. As a result, I’ve become extra sensitive to ads and find the ones I’m forced to listen to in podcasts especially irritating. I can tolerate them at the beginning of an episode, but I hate being interrupted by them. Now, the only thing I associate with brands like Athletic Greens is these interruptions, so I simply decided to avoid them. Just yesterday, I ignored SquareSpace for the same reason when researching how to set up a homepage for my business.
Most of it is just garbage and the gen z version of this “as seen on tv” bullshit. Why people buy from influencers is beyond me.
