Coupla thoughts on this whole Slippcat stuff – which, if I’m understanding it correctly, is the idea of giving people freebies, like couches, and paying them for clicking on them.

1) Good advertising, seems to me, is advertising you like to look at – or at the least, can’t help looking at, and which then sticks in your mind.

Good advertising is not advertising where you have to PAY people to get them to look at it.

So aside from delivering click numbers to advertisers, I don’t see that this works particularly well in itself as an advertising model.

2) Items like these can never offer cachet. When it comes to anything from clothes to couches, people pay for cachet.

And even if not willing to pay a premium for cachet in every instance (and few of us are), we will at least pay a modicum to avoid being viewed as any number of bad things: a charity case; a pathological cheapskate; a fashion victim; someone not “in the know”; or a person with no taste or imagination whatsoever, etc.

So while people might want a couch to click on and make money from (if I’m understanding how this works correctly), they likely won’t be showing that couch off to their friends and lovers.

They will need another couch for that. The clickable one will be the couch in the closet, as it were.

So I think the Slippcat representative saying about the content creators, “They hate us,” is kind of putting on airs, by implying that these items actually represent a threat to creators of good-quality content.

“it seems like it’s so hackable”

Perhaps we can expect a continual parade of Clickbots collecting their limit of lindens then instantly coming back with a new identity. The humans may get squeezed completely off the grid.

And the Lab will have huge numbers of new signups to point to – “More than eight billion new accounts in the last 90 days!”

Haha that’s what I said to them Eris, asking whether it isn’t just a glorified sort of camping. They claim they’ve built something in that, I suppose, limits how many clicks or something. Although really, it seems like it’s so hackable and ridiculous. Surely they’re smart enough to realize that sims will start piling up clickable junk – kind of like camping piles but in this case someone else pays!

I have an ad-blocker running in my web-browser so that i never have to see click-able ad’s which i’ll never click on.

So i won’t need an ad-blocker in SL? I’ll just learn to avoid all ad-embedded furniture. I’ll also learn to avoid the crowds of anonymous penniless noobs desperately clicking on sky-high piles of free furniture.

Slightly flawed plan perhaps?
