Also, take it from a squid- clams don’t meditate. They’re big gooey messes of anxiety in a shell.
I don’t know, clam meditation sounds pretty chill
You would think so, but they’ve got no chill. They spend all day on Clambook getting worked up about things and clamscrolling.
Sounds like squid propaganda!
Hey, you don’t have to take my word for it. Go talk to a clam. Just approach carefully because many of them have AR-15s these days.
The Israeli Navy had to take out an entire school of dyslexic salmon chanting “from the sea to the river”.
Nah, they’re on instaclam.
Oh yeah turn up the heat and humidity and drink some hot milk, in a robe preferred for ultimate zen
Clams seem pretty happy, at least enough that there’s a whole expression about it
Idk, isnt any shellfish meditation antisemetic?
People are like piranahs on Lemmy when it comes to anything ad-adjacent lol. It’s good to be vigilant, but damn, not EVERYTHING is something, lol. Honestly, getting all riled up over an ad someone saw in a subway and was amused by is pretty shellfish of them…
and who’s to say this is actual data, and not just some intern spitting out some idea
Sirs can I please have your attention!
These days we’re outraged almost exclusively by AI. Please proceed to re write your comments, assuming the image was made entirely by a computer and OP is a bot.
Riled up? Are you sure?
Well you couldn’t tell now lol, but when I commented, about 25% of the comments were accusing OP of being a corporate shill or similar “you’re just giving Spotify free advertisement” stuff.
Time makes fools of us all I suppose!
There’s nothing in Spotify’s ToS that says you can’t be a clam and use their service
The classic Air Bud legal defense
“immortalized” is a strong word for an ad that stays up for maximum a month long
Well it will live on for immortality online.
The world needs more clam meditation.
I would not care and I tell you why, I did not understood why the same thing was written twice I had to read the title again in order to pay more attention and realize what the problem was !!!
You might be dyslexic!
Also that playlist might be yours.
I thought the typo was going to be ‘calm mediation’ at first and just thought it would be lawyer ASMR.
Those 2019 people were just another year away from finding out what an actually crazy year looks like.
2020 enters the chart
Hold my beer
They’re big gooey messes of anxiety in a shell.
OP is saltier than the clams.
Dude, have you ever talked to a clam?
Yes, i am a cunning linguist.
The mollusc type of clam, not the lady front bottom type of clam!
I am not into beastiality, sir.
Spotify is making money off that typo.
8 million is dramatically underselling how many people live in the metro area - that’s only the city limits.
What if it’s not typo, but actual playlist for meditating clam?
Imagine posting free advertisements for $$$$$p000pify on lemmy
Oh yeah, that’s totally what I’m doing by literally pointing out that they’re watching their users in my headline.
I know “they’re spying on you” always entices me to subscribe to a service.
Here’s what I got when I mentioned a popular 24hr American diner chain a month back:
Pretty great. It made me rethink the post actually. Probably 1% of my comments/posts are indistinguishable from advertisements… sometimes I’ll end up self censoring.
For example, did you notice I didn’t mention the diner was Denny’s, who for a limited time is INTRODUCING: THE BERRY WAFFLE SLAM® (Breakfast in a Liège of its own)?
I didn’t know you could mention Denny’s without a story about someone winding up in a fistfight in the parking lot.
We don’t have one where I live, and the rumor mill about why the last one closed was that it was the result of a knife fight one early early morning between a couple of prostitutes who got blood everywhere and the owner decided “fuck it, not worth keeping open.”
I believe it.
Went to one that had 60” flatscreens throughout the diner, all streaming the CCTV feed.
Assumed at 3am it’s easiest to get across potential consequences of actions to rowdy drunks by pointing at a screen that actually shows the misbehavior live.
Ah yes poop, haha you got em
Agreed, I hate this
Careful, my comment was removed for jokingly saying OP was a shill for not outright saying Spotify wasn’t paying him.
Very polite (especially to Squid) skepticism should be okay. Accounts can get hacked, accounts can get sold, marketers are damn good.
You might appreciate my last comment btw
Absolutely, it should be. I was being very sarcastic in my other post and basically said Squid didn’t outright say he wasn’t being paid, so that MUST mean he’s being paid and it was removed with a message saying I shouldn’t call a mod a shill.
Which honestly makes me think that I struck a nerve now.
I used to hate the hail corporate subreddit back in the day because literally anything with a logo was considered an ad by them, however nobody can deny that that kind of deceptive advertising totally happens.
Sorry, it didn’t look like a joke to me, it looked like a personal attack.
I have restored it.
Next time, please contact me in a PM if you have an issue with something like this rather than air it in public.
Now we are talking about their ad.
Clam down there brother
Are you implying that Spotify used user data to generate these advertisements, rather than just paying the marketing firm that definitely came up with this idea?
Also, way to add an extra layer to the promotion.
Do you think Spotify is paying me or something? For fuck’s sake. I thought it was funny. If you don’t like it, move on.
Obviously a corporate shill. He never outright said he wasn’t being payed.
Or, for that matter, paid.
It’s just a shitpost. Please, let’s all try to remain clam.
I’d rather not have ads in the shit post community
I mean if it was a brand new account posting just things like this, sure, I would agree. In this case I recognize OP and give them the benefit of the doubt they aren’t an undercover Shitify agent here to advertise on the shitpost community. Not everything has to be black and white.
Not hard to karma farm and use an account for corporate influence. ThePicardManuever just posted a taco bell ad today.
You mean the Baja Blast ape?
Yeah
Looks like an anti-Spotify ad to me. Why should Spotify employees read the names of people’s playlists?
Edit: oh, they’re probably public ones. Still, technically profiting off people’s content, which they likely agreed to in ToS.
That seems like something that could be easily taken just from the api, I feel like if it’s data anyone can get for free, they are fine to use it in ads.
I mean, the users probably didn’t read the ToS but lots of social media and similar have these rules. I feel they should ask for every instance they use individual data for advertising their platform anyway even if the user clicked “Agree” when signing up. ToS;DR calls this “You sign away moral rights”.
