Yeah, I sometimes wonder about ad placement rationale.

Take this, for example:

Now, why would a Wendy's restaurant owner post a billboard on their own restaurant, advertising another three miles away?!

I took this pic in 2007...the billboard remains to this day.

The only scenario I can think of:

The franchise owner wanted to make some extra money by putting up a billboard, but Wendy's said, "No." Maybe, it was because Wendy's didn't want to appear to endorse whatever crap some people advertise. The PO'd franchise owner, who also owns the one three miles away, gets around it by advertising his own restaurants (one on each) and writing off the fair-market advertising expense.

That's got me thinking...I should make a trip down there to find out whether he's advertising this one from three miles away. LOL

lol he has a very large ego, so I think the story is dead-on for his personality. You keep having blinders on for people with these personalities for some reason.

It makes sense, though; if he has 100 million followers, and he hardly is getting any views compared to those with less followers, then it would make you question the algorithm and demand it be fixed instead of thinking that maybe you're not actually as likeable as you thought. A lot of people follow others they don't like just to laugh at them, which I think is weird.

That's just your opinion, though, because you prefer Elon Musk. You wouldn't be able to see beyond your own feelings on either of them, and you are likely surrounded by others who also favor Elon Musk. All you do is talk down about Biden, and all of the programs you watch and what you read seems to do the same, so according to you, nobody likes Biden

That's a great example of a "bias bubble."

You'd really rather have lunch with Joe Biden than Elon Musk? I'm sorry but, if so, I don't understand.

As to my bias, I'm sure I have some. But then you may just be in a different bias bubble than me.

It is interesting that a lot of liberally minded people probably like electric cars but not Elon Musk anymore. Me, I've grown to like Elon Musk some but I think his electric cars are silly.

Yeah, Elon Musk would be fun to lunch with.

I don't want to have lunch with anyone, so it's not about being in a bubble or favoring one of them over the other for me. I'm not a fan of anyone.. I don't really care about famous people or want to hang out with them unless they happened to have a personality of someone I'd want to be friends with, but a lot of them don't seem to.

I am neutral on most people, unless they are an extremely terrible person, then it's hard to be neutral anymore. I'm still mostly neutral on Elon Musk, but I do find him to be too much of a troll for my liking lol

I generally don't like people who want or try to be antagonists.... Intentional pot stirrers are not people I want to hang out with. They can stay on the internet, and then I can mute them if I want (if they are just non-stop being a bother).. that's how I like it

But take Elon out of the equation when reading that original link.. You wouldn't find that funny for an owner of a social media company to do that?

I don't really block people either. On FB I unfollow people who have too much repetitive stuff.

Well, we're not famous, so I'm fine with lunch with you lol
