My wife got an invitation in the mail to attend a free Medicare informational session with a free meal included at a low-quality, all-you-can-eat buffet. I shall not name the restaurant. I told my wife that sitting through a sales pitch is a high price to pay for a free meal at the eating place and she agreed. This is what we built in the USA, Land of the Free. #USA #Marketing #Capitalism #Sales #Entrepreneurship

Today, the most successful conferences are micro conferences. So produce for and market to a micro conference market.
Pepsi в 1992 году запустила на Филиппинах лотерею Number Fever: крышка могла сделать тебя миллионером.
Но из-за ошибки в обращение попали сотни тысяч «выигрышных» крышек с номером 349.
Компания отказалась платить — и страна взорвалась протестами, судами и даже жертвами.
Акция, задуманная как триумф, обернулась катастрофой.

Reflections from Black Hat USA 2025 on Deception, Disinformation, and the Marketing That Chose Fiction Over Facts... 
As I was driving away from Las Vegas... pretty damn fast -- as you can see -- I couldn't shake a troubling feeling from Black Hat.
The Narrative Attack Paradox: When #Cybersecurity Lost the Ability to Detect Its Own Deception and the Humanity We Risk When Truth Becomes Optional
The paradox? An industry studying "narrative attacks"—AI-powered campaigns that flood information environments with personalized deception at scale—as external threats, while simultaneously being surrounded by their own #marketing language that had become indistinguishable from the very algorithmic content generation they were warning about.
When the canary in the coal mine—the cybersecurity industry that's supposed to detect digital deception—loses its ability to distinguish authentic capability from algorithmic fiction, what hope do other industries have?
We're living in a Borgesian nightmare where marketing descriptions of #AI capabilities have become more influential than actual AI capabilities.
The problem isn't just technological—it's epistemological. We've built machines that decide what questions we should ask and how we should evaluate the answers.
A direct challenge to marketing professionals: This is your wake-up call. Stop letting #algorithms craft your messages. The most respected brands choose honesty over hype, transparency over clever AI-optimized copy. When your audience can't distinguish between human insight and machine-generated claims, authentic communication becomes your only competitive advantage.
The canary may be struggling to breathe, but it's still singing. The question is whether we're still listening.
There's so much more to think about here—from Borges to McLuhan, from recursive information crises to what we risk when truth becomes optional.

Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society—especially when the stakes have never been higher.

Modern email and text marketing is wild. I get it. I have some unredeemed credits. Cool.
Msg 1: "Congrats. You earned a loyalty reward."
Msg 2: "Your bonus 16-piece parmesan bread is waiting."
Msg 3: "Don't forget about those free cheesy bites."
Msg 4: "Friendly reminder. Your extra points are about to expire."
Msg 5: "What is wrong with you? Do you not like fun?"
Msg 6: "You never return my calls. At least send a text. It feels like I don't even know you anymore."
Msg 7: "I didn't mean that. I just miss you. Please get back to me when you can. We can still make this work."
Msg 8: "Fine. I can take a hint. I guess I will just eat this food alone and cry myself to sleep."
Msg 9: "Hello! Did you block me?"
Banks keep chasing new accounts like that’s the win. Spoiler: it’s not. Dormant accounts + rising costs = wasted money. My take in Rethink Your Bank’s Digital Marketing—or Disappear:

(…thread) It's her call, of course, but one thing I'd love to see from Joan is interaction with her audience. Replying to comments, that sort of thing.
Given how popular she is this could become all-consuming (there would be the inevitable trolls), so I respect her decision. Seth Godin, brilliant in his own way, does the same. #marketing #socialMedia

@psilocervine I beg to differenciate:
It's just that for #IndieDevs #Marketing is the key to success.
Obviously it doesn't make sense to do a #macOS-exclusive:
Some games did #iOS-exclusivity due to lower #Piracy rates than #Android.
#AppleArcade is a working way to squeeze revenue out of an old title that is is the sub-$1 bargain bin at Steam and where everyone has closed the books on as in 'nice to have some revenue, but we ain't do much more about it' without going #PayToLoose or shoving it full of #ads and "#Microtransactions"...
I'd say if one's already using a multi-platform-engine then clicking "export to #Mac" is an option.
