Honestly — how is this not just simple stealth product placement?
I assume this meme was originally made by some hydro homie with a special interest, since it's not the type of product marketed to individuals.
Totally agree. But separated from the hydrohomies group, some operations vp is looking at that thinking… “hmm… it’s time. I’ll call my guy.”
I mean the meme is kind of perfect for capitalism?
Imagine some VP spending more than 5min here before realizing how unwelcome they are, let alone making purchasing decisions off this.
Aren’t capitalists the target audience? Hopefully we’re not here just to pat one another on the back. We want to move people closer to the good side.
I am very very sensitive to corporate astroturfing but frankly this macro seems pretty innocuous. Listing the models even enhances the comedy IMO
It’s satire!
Whoosh on me then loll
I doubt the CEO cares about memes to market their water fountains. Especially on Lemmy, there's ~40k ppl here and most would rather drink CEO blood over buying a water fountain.
I doubt people will buy a water fountain just because some people online think it's funny, especially when 99% of their profits are for new buildings lolI want to see the meme with ceo blood now.
You’re seriously going to buy one of these? You think anyone here is?
These are institutional devices. Place where I work has the good work one and I like that but it’s still a product even if I’m not personally going to buy it.
