recently someone on tiktok said 'hey lets comment on random thirst traps and say 'you look just like a character from x movie!' (i forgot the name, the original one had one). like as a fun joke to invent a fake movie from the 80s.

i dont need to point out the obvious comparison here (it was far less organised because it was more about pranking people than pretending the movie was real), but it turned out to be a MARKETING STRATEGY for someones album.

#could not be a better illustrator of the marketing culture of today. LOL #everything is an ad and nothing is for fun #stole an idea. essentially tricked people into promoting it by commenting a weird word that someone would then look up and find the album #also tiktok skews younger than tumblr on the whole i think. so it was a little more teenage in its lore #im not saying goncharov was more than it was but it was fun how everyone was able to invent something that seemed plausible #oh the album is meant to be '80s horror movie themed' which might mean something but it doesnt to me #'its such a unique marketing idea! it should be rewarded!' ..........................ok... i think tricking people into giving u money and #fame is gross. but that might just be me #it worked btw.
