i actually get the same feeling. There are blatant bad AI landing pages with the same card design we've seen so many times already, but its not like we are coming from the great age of creative landing pages by small companies. Especially the wordpress world where every mom&pop shop gets their site hosted is still miles behind the standard claude landing page in terms of design.

Exactly and on the contrary look at what reddit did to amc, they basically revamped it with their meme-stock buying and now they are thriving again from what im seeing online as im not us-based.

But also our local cinemas are insanely crowded on the weekends and you cant book early enough to see the next MCU-blockbuster.

yet, its wildly popular in stores.

What TPC is doing good is, that they have a special kids format with an age-barrier, so kids wont get outpriced that bad and have a fun interaction with a peer group of the same age. I love how my MTG Store has special Tournament Hours only for the Kids Qualifier groups, so that there are no Neckbeards around trying to take advantage of kids and their understanding for money, the game or god knows what ive experienced in my early YGO days playing against people that were 20 years older than me.

Sure some parents have deeper pockets than others, but you can manage to play the game with a tight budget, depending on the format.

as a 13 year old i wanted my mom to take 50 bucks from my summer job to take into btc. BTC was at .06 cent back at the time. Even if i just held it until BTC reached 20$, i wouldnt be working 9-5 right now but rather 9-1.

not really, Germans do hate electric cars as they don't go vroom vroom, there are no emotions transported while driving them and you are doing something for the environment.

A lot of germans hate EVs because the greens said they were good.

Probably because it requires working connectors and humans driving into the exact centimeter correct parking position each and every day, no matter if in a hurry or at night or in snow with impaired vision.

the only comparable shoe in terms of sales to the overall sales of the company you listed would be the on cloud 6 coast as id say the jordan trunner you listed doesnt even count for a tenth of a percentile of nikes models. The New balance 574 is the bread and butter shoe of new balance, followed by the 990 or newly the 530. There are some more lifestyle models mixed in like the 878, 2002 or 1906, but the 574 is THE new balance shoe, just like an Air Force 1 is THE nike shoe. So i dont really think your comparison holds true, as you could find those "atrocious" models also from ON, Hoka and New balance. The difference is, those brands dont have literally thousands of models, not colorways but models, to choose from, so a singular hit or miss hurts much more.

though this is due to a current McDonalds promotion, where they offer food from around different countries rotating every other week.

you'd be amazed how little people are vibe coding their apps to have alternatives. I mean i recently did for a club, but other clubs are still buying the SaaS-solution for 250$ a year, while having more members and i'd assume at least 1 technical person, that knows what they are doing.

actually not. EA is a household name. You can ask every single person with a steam/xbox/psn account if they know ea. i guarantee you, 95% of them heard of EA and id say 80% of those have played an EA game in their lifetime.

That being said, influencing happens by mere exposure. There was a time, when Europeans bought up the kit of a bad mexican football club, just because the jersey was hyped on fifa 14. so if someone is trying to influence them, it will happen.
