Advertising, marketing, propaganda. It programs people’s brains. It is extremely powerful.
There are dozens of these mass brain-programming campaigns going on right now. It’s been happening for many years … maybe centuries.
The effects can linger for many years. Even passing to the next generation.
A lot of ‘word of mouth’ fads are initiated by clever marketing pretending to be word of mouth.
I really should have used a better example like a tiktok dance/challenge or a meme format instead of a physical product.
TikTok is just an endless stream of ads
Or new slang
I don’t think the “Harlem Shake” had commercial interests. Who was making money off of that?
Bauuer?
