It’s a pretty common and wildly successful marketing strategy to put something on social media with one or more intentional errors to force everyone’s inner Reply Guy to fight the urge to do the thing.

But it also works with unintentional errors. My less well-thought-out replies attract responses like flies. 😄

Whether it indicates the success of your thesis or not depends on how you measure it, I suppose.

“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” is a valid strategy.

they’d surely stop stealing everybody’s water for bottling. If it isn’t profitable, they wouldn’t do it.

I don’t think they would. It’s far more likely that they’d “work with” governments to make boycotting their product illegal.

One example: anti-BDS laws regarding Israeli goods, especially in the US.

This is social media, not a magic 8-ball simulator. 😄

With zero context of you and your circumstances, you’re only going to get responses equal in value to rolling a die or flipping a coin.

Christ, this image is like a 50-post long thread on Mastodon, etc: the worst possible choice of format/platform for that type of content.

“I have an essay to share, and I’m going to send it in snippets of a few hundred characters!” Why?

(Looking at you, Doctorow… 👀)

To add to this, for those of you in roles that deal with email, think of every time you’ve dealt with a vendor or partner who’ve told you to “just whitelist *@<our-domain> - it’s not in the contract or terms of service, but it’s a requirement”.

The correct, considered and professional answer is, of course, “Fuck off and die.” Without exception, equivocation or apology.

This site is one such example, but at a B2C rather than B2B level.

Waiting for Spez to weigh in with his typical subtlety and even-handedness… 🍿
