I would prefer the version of this comment that lacked the excessive condescension. You could communicate the idea that you wish tactics like this wouldn't proliferate without denigrating the people you're talking to.
I found the comment to be informative and the condescension thought provoking. I guess it’s because the disparagement cuts both ways. There is criticism for the marketer who uses these techniques as a cheap ploy and for the consumer who lets the Trojan horse enter because “ooh a horsey”.
Obviously the post could have been more pragmatic, but then bland? Not everyone enjoys onion even though the flavour is remarkable.
But in a way the “denigration” is like the pretty demo effects. It dresses the whole comment up in something that pops out and here we are having been derailed from the op subject
Calling people "the chimp troupe" with "3 inch brains" is not a good way to communicate your ideas. For sure not to the people you're calling chimps, but also not to anyone else except people who both agree with you and have similar contempt for others as you do.
Wow no stranger has ever said that to me before and I really liked it, thank you! /desperate acknowledgment
I don’t write, no social media either. Just staying in my place, a lurky digital hermit since the 90’s
