| Right..... Im aware that everyone has their own right to their opinion, and im glad they do otherwise i would have no reason to post this little bit of fun. So yay for freedom of speech. Ok, first some bitching Quote from marketer "Spam - Definition at URL: http://www.whatis.com" Lets take a word that everyone knows and loves... like bitch. the original meaning of this word is something along the lines of a femal dog in heat. however in recent times it has gained a few extra meanings, some recognised by the people in the oxford press some not so. if i was to call u a bitch, one could assume that you are a domineering female, however if i was to call u my bitch you may be recognised as submisive male homosexual (not that there is anything wrong with that, im just using it to illustrate a point so dont bitch about it please). my point is that the meaning of a word is changed by the people that use it, (i.e. us, not the acedemics who put them in the dictionary), the meaning of the word is then changed if enough people use the word for that purpose. so dont get hung up on "Definition of SPAM" cause chances are as times changem, so will definitions. so get over it. Furthermore if u say that is so easy to clik the little "X" well it will be pretty easy to replace the word SPAM with something else where u dont like it cause u dont even have to click anything. So again... get over it. now onto the issue of SPAM (because thats what i think it is) net sends and unsolicited emails. As was previously stated, the time needed to create a net send spa----er--advertising program is minimal and done in spare time (i assume it is not easy to make a living purely from unsolicited net sends/emails/whatever although i have never tried and don't really know), so if u buy it u are wasting ur money. Saying that the advertisement is paid is a load of crap. As you stated this would be a secondary source of income (if you wernt doing it, u would be doing nothing important) so time factor must be considered free (unlike the time it takes me to delete them all). If u buy bandwith from an isp u are buying exactly that... bandwith. not bandwith to be used just for ads, but bandwith to do whatever u want with. so it must also be considered free because if u didnt send the shit u wouldnt need as much anyway. that leaves the advertisement itself which is free as opposed to billboards where you are paying for the ad and the ad only to be posted at a certian cost (material costs like the paper its printed on would be an extra as would paying the guys to stick it up there.).So once again u are wrong. onto emails... im pretty sure that i havent signed up to be offered digital cameras and inkjet cartriges from dealers that only service the USA when i dont even live there! now onto the intrusion and annoyance factor.... this is really self explanatory and if u want to argue to me that these ads shouldnt (or dont) annoy me and that i should click on them because i'll give some poor bastard a new lease in life, u need to get ur head examined. I find them intruive, annoying time consuming and offensive. If you have enough intelligence to set a scheme like this up you should also have enough intelligence to go into something more creative like web design where you dont directly send me annoying boring shit and you can still make money in your spare time. the truth is that net send advertising takes basically no time to set up and is the lazy and inconsiderate man (or woman's) way to make money. it takes advantage of legitimate systems that could otherwise be put to good use. if u bothered to read this whole comment... well thanks for listening to my bit, hope i didnt offend anyone too much. oh and marketer... it isnt nice to insult other people so take it a bit easier on people who are only expressing their opinion. i hope you have a happy festive holiday of your choice |
