As time passes, marketing has progressed immensely.  Technology has advanced so much that it’s helped marketing in a great way. Before technology a lot of business would market their companies by bulletin boards. And if they had the money they would also do it on TV commercials as ads. Marketing is as easy as putting your idea out there. Once its out there many will pay for whatever it is you’re trying to sell or get across. What’s cool about social media and how beneficial it is, is that everything can be done from home. Many do this as a living and earn an income. Although many can argue that its become a lazy way of doing things because all you really need is your idea and a computer to be able to advertise through a social media, can be dissaving. Seth Rodin made many great points on how he thought specific types of "tribes" or in other words people who connect with others on similarities that they have in common vibe in a better way and can connect in a much better way because of their similarities. I found this to be very true. It's almost the same as marketing. Those who find your viewing interesting will find it to be interesting and those who don't are entitle to do so. 
This was very known for many years. I can’t deny it wasn’t beneficial because it did work and for many promoted their business or inventions or anything that could be sell or shown off. Which to me is amazing. Over the years, the way technology has advanced is mind blowing. Now because of the different type of platforms there are, and the way we can communicate or show off something is so much easier. Advertising or marketing has become so normal over the Internet that everyone is doing it. It is as easy as even making money. Others can help you advertise it is whatever you’re trying to sell and you make cash and so does the person helping you advertise. It’s a win, win situation.

  1. I have to admit; I'm quite a bit more cynical about the truth of this article. His examples are very small compared to the effect that cults of personality can have on so called "change".

    I'm not sure his tribal argument works all that well as an implement of change.

    Let's take the "tribe" that got Drumpf elected this year as an example. Drumpf HAS started a movement, one in which he claims he's an implement of change. It just isn't one like his followers seem to think it is. He says he's going to "drain the swamp" of outsiders? Yeah, right. If that's the case, why has he selected nothing but INSIDERS for his cabinet and transition team? And even the ones who are OUTSIDERS are clinging to a past that doesn't exist anymore and never existed, a "paradise" where white males dominated everything and all of "the others" "knew their place". You know, racist/sexist/homophobic America. Sigh. That's not change; that's living in the past. And that's the nature of leaders, of cults of personality.

    The universe is a place of constant change all the time. People are the ones who fear and resist it against all rationality.
