Thinking about the fun “become ungovernable” memes, and how “become unmarketable” would potentially be even more fitting in corporate dominated societies.
By hiring me as an Unfluencer. Say you’re a marketing rep working for Adidas, and you want people to view Umbro as totally uncool; Hire me as an unfluencer, and I will start shilling for Umbro, and my mere endorsement will make Umbro so uncool that everyone flocks to Adidas instead.
Unmarketable?
Exist as an out-and-out queer person. And don’t whitewash it. Talk openly about – Queer stuff. The stuff you’ve done with intimate partners, the stuff that turns you on or off, et cetera.
Basically, be a queer person who acts like the average straight dude. Totally harmless, if rather obnoxious, and corporations won’t touch you with a pole the length of the earth’s circumference.
I’m a bisexual femboy who’s been horny on main for decades now, proud to be a constant brand risk to any platforms I force to host my dumbass thoughts.
George Carlin led the way here: just curse and talk about sensitive subjects a lot, marketers are desperately afraid of anything that might challenge their consumers.
Curse a lot. Think of how google’s AI summary won’t appear if you include the word “fuck” in your search, or how everyone on social media is self-censoring naughty words for fear of The Algorithm. The internet has been carefully curated and manicured to be marketable to every possible demographic, so they can milk data from everyone; from the six year old watching Fortnite videos to the pearl-clutching suburbanites worried about the Gays corrupting their Family Values. Become unmarketable by swearing like a sailor. Make communities with your fellow potty-mouths. Rebel against censorship by saying “fuck” a lot.
The internet has been carefully curated […]
You mean the fuckin’ corporate internet? 😜
