why the fuck is the world bank advertising on anything? are they hoping heads of state are looking to adverts when they need a spare 4 trillion ?

EDIT : I was going to take out a loan from the IMF, but this twitter ad changed my mind to the World Bank instead.

I guarantee there is a full time person making a lot of money that has to come up with a good reason.

Military contractors advertise on the London underground because MPs, MI5 and MI6 have plenty of staff who commute.
Plenty of public servants use social media.
In Scotland, Scottish Water (a publicly owned nationalised company) has to advertise.

It’s not necessarily about selling new products, but maintaining awareness and keeping up opinion.

nate3d ,

Exactly this. Marketing and Sales are two different beasts and advertisements can serve either or both at the same time.

Subliminal sentiment bending techniques? See positive money stuff in your feed, line goes up because you believe things are good and invest somewhere. Maybe not with them, but all lines end up lining their pockets. Except Nazis apparently. That’s a line too far.

The question isn’t “What will Elon do about this?” Rather, it’s “Who will Elon sue about this?”

Ha

The real question is - who is amoral/cynical enough to have kept on advertising on twifter after the toxic owner showed his true colors with the policy regressions over a year ago already?

AstroGnomeical ,

Goya Beans probably

niktemadur ,

Oh no, those bastards are much worse, actively and openly embracing the toxic message of the racist ignorant right-wing.

Xitter

It's pronounced "Shitter"

finley ,

just imagine being in this position:

“Hmmm… which to choose… huge piles of cash… or Nazis… hmmmm… yes, clearly, the right decision is Nazis…”

i just can’t…

Even hitler didn’t make that choice. He only rose to power because Germany was broke as hell.

Imagine being the person who defends Hitler.

Lost_My_Mind ,

I’m not defending hitler. I’m saying even hitler didn’t chose the nazis over money. If Germany weren’t so broke from the great recession, hitler would have never come to power.

Twitter has World Bank ads?
