Marketing - How Far People Can Go For The Attention
Now that I finally decided to write on this topic, it got me redigesting a post I read a couple of days ago about "time and attention" Although this post does not "directly" compliment the points that were thrown out there, it just came flashing back at the thoughts of the topic.
I happened to have been up late yesterday going through some past case, about 3 years back, concerning an American rapper who was allegedly arrested for the killing of his two friends. There was one hell of a conspiracy on the topic at hand, I couldn't help but see the "marketing strategies" in play.
American rappers are so known for their involvement with crimes in one way or the other, so the case here wasn't any different. The rapper mentioned is "YNW MELLY" if I got the name right. In 2016, he supposedly wrote a song titled "Murder On My Mind" which was released in 2017. The song centered on a murder case which involved him, the young rapper, killing his bros. The lyrics kinda told the fuckin story, and then fast forward to 2018, the rapper got arrested for killing his two friends. A lot of people came hitting with different stories on the matter, but I just couldn't help but realize this was all plotted out, just to get him selling a couple more copies and get him eating into the "attention zone" a wider exposure. The song is mentioned has nearly 500 million views on YouTube, I doubt it had so much when it was released, but the incident brought more attention to it.
If we are talking about American rappers and staging shits, then it's obvious to read between the lines. Now back to crypto…
Will The World Keep Promoting Shits?
If I were told to define the image above, I would say;
"I place before you, gold, silver and misery, choose one"
The truth is, the world will keep promoting what the world wants, it doesn't mean shit if it's potential or not, just as Lilnas X said on one of his famous tracks "Montero" "I wanna sell what you're buying" And that's exactly how it goes. One doesn't open a business to sell undemanded goods, the aim is to sell what's demanded, so to buy the attention of those patronizers, you gotta plot your marketing graph better. Take for instance, the effects of "click baits" how relevant it is to trap attention and sell a blog's product. We see it on many paidtoclick websites, it ain't just there, it's there because these guys have studied the system and understood what will guarantee them clicks.
As though controversial topics end up with the most engagement, we tend to have more people indulging in them. These days, centralized exchanges are doing too much to gain the most users. I still respect Kucoin for being the exchange listing every damn shit on planet earth, they must be really graced. But you can't really blame them because shitcoins have become the flavor of the year, so what could possibly earn you more than selling what they crowd now fancies?
It's just marketing, not like they should care which customers get rekt in the process…

Kept on asking myself what’s the actual use case for shiba
Charity dog, my guess
It's not surprising to see shits being the talk of the moment.
The first issue is that we are all human and sometimes or most times, we like to follow trends.
Trends can be a good thing to follow at first but most trends can't stand the test of time.
Now in terms of cryptocurrency, meme coin has been the new crypto trend and in most cases we've seen,it isn't worth it if you are not a very early adopter.
Looking at a project like Hive, it's clear to see that anyone can start either early or late and still be very proud of their choice.
Difference between trends and real project are very clear in terms of unique active user and people who are just there to pump and dump.
Following the trend has both it's advantage and disadvantage, which is why you always have to do your own research.
Insightful blog!

Yep, can't argue with what you've said...
That is a basic truth a lot of marketers refuse to face. You must be selling what people are buying.
Demand drives the market, and hype drives demand. You are right the post that get the most engagement are negative posts. I posted a negative Amazon Selling experiance on facebook, and that post received 100s of comments, and engagement. My post normally only get between 20 and 50 in engagement and comments on facebook.
Looking forward to your future posts.
Glad to see you stopping by.
Yea, if one actually wishes to gain an audience, he/she has to sell what the audience demands, it's just as simple as that...
