#UWJ201 #308 How effective do you think "cancel culture" is? For example, I have seen celebrities/brands make a comeback after being severely cancelled previously. This makes me question if cancel culture is more temporary or something that could ruin a brand entirely.

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

@LaurenAcker6 #UWJ201 #308 I completely agree. With "cancel culture" being present now, the stakes are much higher and accidents, scandals, and so on, have much greater consequences than they did years ago. People are less likely to forgive, as well as forget. For brands, this is intimidating.

@ZiebellTaylor #UWJ201 #308 I've heard that a similar food poisoning situation is happening at Chipotle again. Miley Cyrus even spoke about how she recently got sick there, which I can imagine will do bad things for their brand as a negative review from a celebrity can influence many.

#UWJ201 #308 This, now, is a huge and new forming industry where they almost prioritize glamorous packaging and display opportunities more than what the product is made up of. (2/2)

#UWJ201 #308 In lecture, we discussed the evolution of PR. I found it extremely interesting that PR now is known as company products sent to influencers for free. From there, the influencer does an unboxing and, in a way, gives free advertising for the said products. (1/2)

@LucySpeers5 #UWJ201 #308 Personally speaking, I think that I am slightly influenced when brands develop online personalities. I have seen this numerous times, especially in TikTok comment sections. It oddly makes brands feel more relatable to this generation of young adults, me included.

@JosefnaLznikov1 #UWJ201 #308 I think that most of the information we get from influencers related to ads, are very biased. The influencers may or may not truthfully enjoy the product, but it was money that made them come forward and use their platform to advertise it.

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

#UWJ201 #308 The top ads of the 21st century, included the infamous 'Dumb Ways To Die' video. I was surprised that I didn't even recognize that video as an ad before, but more so as entertainment. Do you think this is a positive or negative takeaway from an ad as a consumer?

#UWJ201 #308 I found it interesting to read that what we use our spare time on, in technology, are now windows for marketers. This used to be private information, and now it is a campaign to get us to buy. As time goes on, our internet footprints become continously less private.

@kouri_sophia #UWJ201 #308 Personally, I tend to skim articles on my phone more frequently than I were to if it was a newspaper infront of me. I also would much rather do other things on my phone, than read. As for newspapers, I go to them with one intention and that is to get my news.

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

@Anders0nMattUW #UWJ201 #308 I completely find myself guilty of buying something that had been advertised by a celerity I follow. I also know many of my friends have done this as well. With that being said, I think this marketing campaign strategy is much more successful than I had once thought.

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

#UWJ201 #308 With this being said, do you think that most big social media corporations are constantly putting their platform's agendas as a priority over the public's health, conscious, and forming opinions? (2/2)

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

#UWJ201 #308 I found it very interesting to read that in 2019, youtube executives ignored warning's of videos promoting conspiracy theories, and such, because doing so would decrease engagement on the platform. (1/2)

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

@CaseyAugust2 #UWJ201 #308 My answer to this question includes a yes and no scenario. If the news they received is related to pop culture for example, then I don't see a problem. If it is a serious issue or political news, I wouldn't be inclined to view it as a completely trustworthy source.

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

@evargold #UWJ201 #308 I think they can be synonymous, I however, cannot see them going hand in hand in the future as a main source of news information. Although it is entertaining, when it comes to serious news for example, there isn't much of a way in combining that with entertainment.

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

#UWJ201 #308 (2/2) Do you think the media is to blame for causing this exaggerated misperception for each opposing party? Especially biased news outlets associated with only one party?

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

#UWJ201 #308 (1/2) The Vox article included the statistic that a pool of Democrats believed that 44% of Republicans earned more than $250,000 a year when it is only 2%. At the same time, Republicans thought that 38% of Democrats were either gay, bisexual, or lesbian when it is 6%

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

#UWJ201 #308 The Times article mentioned that defenders of Twitter's decision to ban Trump, noted that the platform kicks off millions of users everyday for breaking violations. We just don't see it happening often to people of power, and when it does, massive debate transpires.

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

@Duy2216 #UWJ201 #308 I think the time in which they banned Trump from Twitter was essentially considered the 'last straw' that they had been monitoring him for. Therefore, I think it was appropriate for them to ban him in that moment specifically, as the timing was very significant.

[LauraSlusser @LauraSlusser3]

@AlisonStecker #UWJ201 #308 I think some companies have enforced these considerations, but most have not. This is most likely because in a time like now, people only want to hear what they believe in which ultimately is a biased perspective.
