okay here's an actual legitimate innovation:

a friend-propagated ad network. basically you ask people on a social network to promote some product or service in exchange for reducing the amount of ads on their feed or timeline or whatever. so a user writes a review of a product and then those reviews substitute actual company-provided ads in the feeds/timelines of people in their social network. so gradually across the entire social media network, the company-created ads are reduced in place of ads created by users. in this way, not only do you tailor products and services to potential customers, but also the delivery, that is, how the item is sold.

so for example if I'm a millennial, I'm likely to see an ad for the AMC network that uses emoji's and hip-talk as cheesy or transparently manipulative. but if I see a friend make a post about one of their shows, I'm more likely to take the assessment seriously, because it's a third-party endorsement. the trick is to avoid the word "advertisement" in describing this process because otherwise it will turn people off. the very notion that someone is trying to sell something immediately throws up mental walls in people's minds. ideally this "sponsored" post by your friend would appear like any other item in your feed.

it probably wouldn't work in practice unless you convinced a whole bunch of people on the network to participate, to jump-start user engagement on a network-wide level. I just really hate the current implementation of internet ads and I want to see them die in a fire

The future is now and it's poo poo!

screws with normal threading for fans so when people try to tighten their fan screws they loosen them instead and have their hand amputated by the fan blades, lmao
