What? These companies advertise to lefty-folks all the time!? They very much represent several different target-markets. Left-wing folks tend to have that middle-class to low-upper-class money. MAGAts are mostly in the lower-middle to low-class grouping, with a sprinkling of rich folks. Yeah, you can sell them some stuff, but how’s that My Pillow guy doing? lol.

As far as your Coke ad goes…okay, that’s the kind of dark where even educated folks would be confused. I’ve had this idea for a Fanta commercial where’s it’s just a bunch of Nazis marching lockstep to the “don’t you want to Fanta Fanta” song. I feel like it highlights history appropriately, and also hits Coke in the face. But overall, I feel like folks would still get bored of it…even if they got the jokes (which a lot of folks wouldn’t). No viewers, no bargaining-power with advertisers.

Am I gonna get banned for upvoting this?

I did:

Yes, that’s how I figured out what was happening. And I’m not shadowbanned officially. If you’re officially shadowbanned you can appeal it. On /appeal it says I’m not banned and can’t appeal. Further I’ve confirmed with other mods that I’m not banned/etc. from their subs…but I have called Spez out a bunch. And honestly, I think he and I get done work around the same time or something, because my [removed]s only pop up around 4PM in the evening. If I wait and go back, they don’t get removed at first…and if folks upvote or comment, usually they don’t get removed later. It’s been going on especially for a few days now, though it is tapering off a bit. I think maybe he’s getting bored.

This got [removed]:

It’s not the mods. I’ve talked to the mods of various subs where this happened. Mods can’t [remove] it from your own profile. Only admins can do that.

Oh for me? Well I know it’s definitely happening now. Shit’s gotten crazier. And, overall, well I pissed off Spez. Nothing special. The motive is…pettiness? They even removed this comment:

And I confirmed with mods of various subs that I wasn’t banned/shadowbanned, e.g.:

I…actually would enjoy that for a month. But I feel like whoever did it would eventually get lazy and comfortable from their riches, and so the advertisers would know what they’re getting into. Alternatively, the person making would NOT get lazy, and would go for really really controversial topics, like holocaust-denial, or promoting child-rape. So either way, viewers would leave. I don’t see a good middle-ground where it actually works.
