You are probably going to laugh, but I think a really good example of this is recipes. You can just put a recipe out on the web and you might get some traction with it, but when you put it in a blog and you tell a story about the recipe, that tends to bring in people more than just the facts.

what I'm actually laughing at, now that having sat with it for a moment...
my honest response/attitude, like, "I honestly don't care about the backstory - will skip right through that part, go straight to the ingredients and directions." 😹
granted, i may not be an accurate representation of the majority... 🤷♂️
No, I actually agree with you, I get so annoyed that I have to scroll through the whole thing and all the adds to get to the recipe, but everyone does it, so there must be some sadistic majority that enjoys it!
LOL, ok cool. i was beginning to worry i was just a self-centered asshole for a moment there. glad to know i'm in good company, either way. 😼
(and I suppose both our experiences might be experiential proof that following such conventional marketing dogma that'd propose a necessity for doing such things doesn't always have the intended impact. 🤷♂️😹)
No, you definitely don't hold a monopoly on the self centered assshole front! I agree with you, but then the fact they keep doing it shows that clearly it works on some people. It's like when you see one of those obvious warning signs, but you know someone must have done it at least once for them to realize they needed sign.
