This was a weird thing to see on Twitter in a promoted ad the other day. Can I sue for defamation since none of this actually happened to me? 😉
Honestly, I am not a fan of being addressed by name in an online ad for something I have never heard of. Would you be?

Why it’s almost as if trolls will be trolls, creeps will be creeps, and people will continue to be everything they are on social media or yes, even in person. Because while those who seem to think that the virtual reality and presence of a real voice will somehow dim the hate and harassment that comes from a network where you can be anonymous, we can see plenty of real-life examples where being identifiable didn’t stop anyone from acting this way. I mean, half the folks who took part in Jan. 6 bragged about it on social media for days. Do you really think a little VR is going to make them suddenly self-conscious?

I was reminded…

When the opportunities present themselves, attend conferences or other events where people within your field are likely to attend. Strike up conversations and be social with others. Don’t be…
It’s been a little while since I wrote anything in this series, Part 3 was way back on June 21st, which just goes to show how time can really get away fro you! So, here’s the next topic for discussion, why blocking social networking sites may just be pointless. First, let’s examine the reasons, as…

it’s freaky, but appears to be a coincidence – I see “McBride” as well, not my name. I’m guessing that’s a character name in the show.
But yea, that would really freak most people out.
You may be on to something, I think the name of the character in the ad is just a coincidence. But really, couldn’t any social media platform do that with ads, and do we want them to? I would be less likely to buy something from someone who made it that obvious they were looking into my details. 😉
