Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds - lemy.lol

Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit. If we have to talk to someone to find out the price, the product may as well not exist.

Has anyone been to any kind of convention for nerdy things. Nerds are so captured by the marketing and products being sold that they let it take over their personality and they can’t stop buying junk.

Right? I’ve seen the walls of Funko Pops… nerds definitely are not immune to marketing.

They aren’t fucking nerds then. Nerds don’t buy Funko Pops.

I can name 3 or 4 people who own walls of Funko pops and I can tell you they wouldn’t know an IDE from MS Word. None of them went to college either.

They’re posers.

If you say so… but some of the Funko collectors I know are definitely die-hard nerds. Having bad taste doesn’t exclude you from nerddom.
