I used to think Get Woke Go Broke was just a meme then I saw it in practice and I was like "holy shit, wow, okay"

2018-09-12 10:05:50 UTC  

Stuff like the new Doctor Who trailer, they had a glass ceiling shatter around the new Doctor and then a big thing saying "IT'S ABOUT TIME" across the screen

2018-09-12 10:06:27 UTC  

When you put the focus on identity politics and not the actual merits of your show, people are turned off

2018-09-12 10:06:35 UTC  

You don't tell anyone about what the show is

2018-09-12 10:06:54 UTC  

How is this not obvious to ANYONE in marketing?! Focus on the damn product

2018-09-12 10:07:16 UTC  

Tell people why your product is the best, don't be like "It's okay to like our product, look, it's a product accessible to many markets"

2018-09-12 10:07:23 UTC  

If it *is* accessible to many markets it will be

2018-09-12 10:07:40 UTC  

By putting total focus on a new market vehemently, you oppose existing ones

2018-09-12 10:07:51 UTC  

*ostracise

2018-09-12 10:14:01 UTC  

The whole point of the consumer's feedback is to help you.

2018-09-12 10:14:21 UTC  

And when you TURN ON THE CONSUMER for their feedback, you're a fucking martian.

2018-09-12 10:14:26 UTC  

worse, they straight up attack their existing markets all the time for calling them out on the change

2018-09-12 10:14:33 UTC  

Exactly, guys

2018-09-12 10:14:36 UTC  

Maybe because show doesnt have anything more to offer anymore? I mean- moment when they build Doctor as basically a god was when problem started. How are you gonna top that?

2018-09-12 10:14:45 UTC  

The customer isn't always right.

2018-09-12 10:14:51 UTC  

But when you DISCARD LOGIC

2018-09-12 10:14:59 UTC  

Like the wage gap.

2018-09-12 10:15:13 UTC  

So they went full woke mode, hoping that it will bring ppl back, and they failed

2018-09-12 10:15:14 UTC  

"UGH this customer. Trying to tell me the wage gap isn't real"

2018-09-12 10:15:16 UTC  

Like when EA were like "If you don't like it don't buy the game"

2018-09-12 10:15:17 UTC  

Name one business who have told their customers not to buy their product

2018-09-12 10:15:17 UTC  

It's about operating within the market

2018-09-12 10:15:17 UTC  

Forcing change on the market DOESN'T WORK

2018-09-12 10:15:50 UTC  

"this customer. Trying to tell me the wage gap isn't real when i clearly pay my female employees less"

2018-09-12 10:16:09 UTC  

"and they say i'm the shitty person here? *scoff*"

2018-09-12 10:16:35 UTC  

Just a bunch of sneaky lying atheists, huh Grenade? 😛

2018-09-12 10:16:49 UTC  

lol

2018-09-12 10:16:53 UTC  

Nah but seriously like

2018-09-12 10:17:25 UTC  

How a business functions is on supply and demand, fundamentally. They make profit by meeting the demand. So *ignoring demand* is the most idiotic thing ever

2018-09-12 10:17:34 UTC  

They are leaving vast market vacuums

2018-09-12 10:17:45 UTC  

The problem is it's all the way up the ladder

2018-09-12 10:18:32 UTC  

There's a gap in the market for stereotypically masculine or right-leaning television shows but that gap isn't being filled because TV execs are denying those shows airtime, you feel me? Plus generally people on the right don't chase creative careers as often, but I don't think that's as related

2018-09-12 10:18:48 UTC  

Its not even ignoring demand, its forcing ppl to change their demand.
"Oh, so you want to buy apple? No man, im gonna sell you banana, and you will like it"

2018-09-12 10:18:50 UTC  

They're artificially creating an imbalance

2018-09-12 10:18:51 UTC  

Yeah

2018-09-12 10:19:07 UTC  

"If you don't eat banana you're discriminating against tropical fruit growers"

2018-09-12 10:19:24 UTC  

Meanwhile anyone who grows apples is getting fucked

2018-09-12 10:19:40 UTC  

The problem is demand for apples will grow so high that people *bypass the grocers*

2018-09-12 10:20:09 UTC  

The people trying to sell you fruit will get ignored because they don't wanna give you what you demand

2018-09-12 10:20:20 UTC  

If they cannot supply to meet the demand they lose out on a market and therefore profit

2018-09-12 10:20:46 UTC  

There's always been a bias in media, but the game's changed
