Also, take it from a squid- clams don’t meditate. They’re big gooey messes of anxiety in a shell.

    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…

    What I see here is an intentional play on words and guess what? There literally is one Clam Meditation playlist.

    I know the internet has dumbed down our humour senses with videos, but how does anyone look at this and not see it as an obvious and intentional dad joke?

    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.

      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.
