Ok, so before I became scientist I spent a few years as a marketing strategist.(For pharma. Dark days- soul- hard to give up the money tho.)
anyway- as soon as I signed up for this forum the algorithms started sending me “Depression Ads” Meds, counseling’s services etc.
that is some dark shit right there. Think it through. One of the most insidious things Pharma does is try to convince people they might be really sick. Exaggerating symptoms, suggestive messages “it’s not your fault you are not able to enjoy life, you aren’t character flawed- you have a rare genetic thing and you will become everything you wanted for the small effort of popping our pills. No other effort required.”
Gotta imagine signing up for ESTP forum it will be gambling or sex addict treatments.
Marketing is brutal and soulless. Be aware. I saw 4 or 5 ads and actually thought- wait am I depressed? Is reaching out to the ether, a depressed act of desperation??? Marketing is powerful shit. Don’t let it get you.
