35 Times People Attempted To Advertise But It Failed Miserably
All we can say to these ads is definitely a thanks, but no thanks!
There's a growing online community dedicated to critiquing and ridiculing poor and misleading advertising strategies, reminiscent of "Ads That Look Like Trashposts." Founded in 2020, this group has amassed over 53K members, focusing more on quality than quantity. As Dr. John Gottman, a renowned marriage researcher, states, "The quality of connections we make is far more important than the number of connections." By keeping the group private and enforcing strict rules, the administrators aim to foster a friendly, spam-free environment where members can share a laugh without negativity. This reflects a significant shift in the marketing landscape; as James Clear, author and productivity expert, notes, "The most effective advertising is not about shouting louder, but about understanding your audience." Businesses must deepen their understanding of customers to engage effectively, which explains why many marketers are turning to memes as a means of connection. More info: Gottman Institute

Successful businesses will develop at the nexus of digital production and marketing to expand in this space. And evidently, the failures result in trash posting.
However, it is obvious that nobody can be perfect. And I suppose they should thank you for that.
If they didn't notice that those who spend money on their social media feeds have even worse ones, how could we ever feel better about our own?
