We are being flooded by headphone ads


Over the past few weeks I've noticed a huge influx of oblique discussions about headphones, often Sennheisers.  I'm getting a little tired of it. 

It's clearly meant to generate discussion about headphones, but placed in areas besides headphones.  The guy who allegedly has ear pain without them, the several people looking for changes from brand x... all of them with accounts newly minted.

I am only surprised at ANYONE who thinks that this was NOT the next phase of Music evolution. With the Onset of  'STREAMING', modern telephones and Wi-Fi just about anywhere, I would expect nothing different. I know I just got a pair of B&W earbuds and now I don't have to mess with BS wires while sitting in places like the VA Medical center waiting for an appointment. My only problem is that I am TOO CHEEP to pay for a data plan on mu phone so I am bound to Wi-Fi and often that forces me to listen to a downgraded music stream due to limited bandwidth, but anyone wiht data, especially 5g should have no problem getting Hi-def music just about anywhere. The headphones only make your experience that much better.

Sorry my original posting wasn't clear enough.

I don't mind lots of headphone discussions.  What I mind is seeming botness of discussions that appear from multiple brand new members of A'gon oddly focused on 1 brand of headphones.

Honestly this isn't just headphones anymore.  Recent discussion about a subwoofer manufacturer (who I am a fan of) was really just a covert ad. 

I'm sorry, again, I'm being so very unclear.  @curiousjim 

I don't mean literal ads.  I mean ads masquerading as discussion topics.

Eric, I think you are on to something.

Market manipulation. Consumer habits have been studied for years.

For the last 10 to15 years everything you read and look at on the net has been parsed and studied by huge companies like Google, Microsoft and Meta. 

I am suspicious as to who/whom may be behind this. For a price we can launch

you and your brand to sudden fame and fortune.
