Is the "accidentally" in the room with us?

It's guerilla marketing by Dyson.

You're watching an ad.

Makes sense. No mother would still be holding a vaccuum cleaner like that when witnessing his child first steps.

No baby proofing on the stairs. Dangerously thin glass railing... not to mention the perfect camera angle to record her reaction.

What's she supposed to do? Cast it aside like a child? Vacuums can never heal, they can only hurt. They don't have the emotional maturity.

Really fucking shitty ad since I rewatched and still can't tell what kinda vacuum it is

Who upvotes this shit? Between the baby walking experts, the people who forgot about the existence of security comments and now THIS, this has gotta be the worst reddit comment section I've ever seen.

Absolutely bonkers amount of tinfoil hat karma conspiracy internet expert comments on a simple ass video.

That's not how ads work, they want your brain to have a sense of vague recognition next time you come by one in a store or online.

Since you can sense something but can't place it your brain will interpret it as a good thing since in nature "things you recognize = good".

Possibly.

But don't worry, as soon as I see the price on Dyson products, I laugh hardily and walk away. I am not a cheapskate, but Dyson prices are laughably high, literally priced for morons.

Well I do kind of want a pet gorilla now, so I think it’s working

u/freehouse_throwaway 21h ago

can we just downvote this shit before it gets onto the front page again for the nth time?

u/Fuckthegopers 18h ago

Too late

u/freehouse_throwaway 17h ago

yeah when i posted, it was about 4-6k points. the default subs are extra bad the past few years i wanna say.

reddit is gonna be useless if they dont figure out soon how to surface new content vs old, and actual engaging content vs bot shit.

u/tellitothemoon 16h ago

54,000 people disagree with you and are eating this up. 🤦‍♂️

u/freehouse_throwaway 16h ago

you do know that the numbers arent a match to real upvote count right?

after a certain point it just becomes mindless upvote via feed. i wouldnt mind but you can't even opt out of "default" subs anymore

1

u/tellitothemoon 16h ago

No I didn’t know that. What does “mindless upvote via feed” mean?

1

u/freehouse_throwaway 15h ago

yeah there's been a lot of changes to it and the numbers are a relative number now too in the past few years

https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/wiki/faq#wiki_how_is_a_submission.27s_score_determined.3F

mindless upvote via feed in that they're using the reddit mobile app and simply pressing up (like) on something

after a certain threshold it's pretty easy to get something to get massively upvoted these days

Is the ''first steps'' in the room with us?

u/Outrageous_Reality50 18h ago

It's right behind me, isn't it?

Time to give up on the meaning of the word "accidental".

In another comment someone said they set up a camera to film just in case their child would take their first steps.

I suggested that if you set up the camera for that very purpose, then it's not accidental.

Their response was that because there's no expectation that the child actually would take their first steps, it's accidental.

Throw "accidentally" in the bin along with "perfectly timed ...", when most of the time in reality it's a carefully selected event, like a photo from a burst shot or a single frame from a high resolution video.
