Would you visit their onlyfans?

I mean if they've got a decent pear, why not?

There’s pearly any reason to pay for porn these days

You laugh, but eventually camvertisement will be common.

You wouldn't need OnlyFans, but something like Kick, with titles like "Chequitta Banana, fruit insertion HOT HISPANIC MILF", the sex worker just smiling and shrugging at the camera, like a Flintstone appliance saying "its a living".

There'll even be generational sex workers, reunions and conferences, with photos of them mounted opposite of the previous CEO's photos in some hallway at the fruit company HQ.

I grew up watching Demolition Man, this in no way would surprise me.

Oh yeah...?

...how do you use the three seashells? I got cuts from trying myself.

taanegl doesn’t know how to use the three seashells lololololol

…

I can see how that could be confusing.

Edit: Well, think of a bidet, right? There's several processes. You have number one, you have number two, and then the cleanup. You can use them as little maracas as well. See, it's a musical instrument, and it's a hygiene element!

Wait, these aren't pear-to-pear platforms.

They may be doing pear review though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

No pear pressure to follow them tho.

You'd think companies wouldn't want to waste money on a fuckng YouTube channel, Facebook page, Twitter account, and Pinterest page. Plus a website.

When a company reaches a certain size their expected to have certain things just because other successful companies have them.

If the fired the team that writes, publishes, and distributes the company newsletter where I work, no one who does any real work would notice or care. The fact that we have a newsletter makes our company seem more big and successful to investors though.

newsletters do help companies maintain MAU and support the renewal process though. It's generally held that a company with an active CS team has lower churn.

It’s free advertising, you don’t even have to pay for the cost of the content being hosted.

that wasnt for a single milk company tho

Last year's superbowl had a bunch of advertisements for avocados, so it's not that surprising.

Advertising is important for brand recognition. That's why companies like Coke still spend a fuck ton of money on it. You want your brand to be the first thing people think of when they think of that industry.

They absolutely do pay people to do all of it. Those sites don't just magically provide content.

I remember being in college using Facebook to just talk to friends and share photos. Then, I remember learning through some news article that brands were excited to have their own Facebook pages and being confused because it seemed like the last thing anyone would be interested in visiting. I also remember seeing people my age getting jobs making Facebook pages for companies and laughing at how ridiculous that sounded. Why would any company pay someone for that?

The enshittification has been happening for a really long time.
