  • Unilever threatens to pull its ads from Facebook and Google.

    Given the reach of those two platforms and no viable large scale digital alternatives, it seems to me that Unilever is just pissing in the wind. Oh I think they're right about social media being a swamp, but there's a long line of advertisers willing to pick up the slack.

    Lipton and Ben & Jerry's owner Unilever is threatening to pull its advertising from digital platforms that it says have become a "swamp" of fake news, racism, sexism and extremism.

      • Well it costs Unilever very little to SAY they're thinking about this, so I agree its unlikely. But, IIRC, something like a third of Unilever sales come in places where Internet access is a luxury. Those countries are their future, too -- places where per-capita spending on staples has lots of room to grow.

          • With a billion+ sets of eyeballs on FB, pulling ads would have to come from high up on the mountain. It will be interesting to read FB's followup commentary.

                • I watched pairs ice dancing Friday night and the biatholon of skiing yesterday. good stuff actually but too many friggin commercials--
                  The Olympics are not watchable unless you tape them and can fast-forward through the endless commercials. In watching the figure skating, all I'll say is that the priorities for the judges are 1. Reputation 2. Country 3. Actual merit of the performance. That male skater from Canada fell on his ass twice last night and still got the highest score. JMO. Also, JMO but the Russian females are at least 20% better than their competition.

                  • I know nothing about figure skating (or ice dancing, as it should be called). Certainly not enough to complain about the officiating.
