Language is so powerful, especially when society's patterns of behavior and perceptions evolve to change the meaning or cultural feelings of words.
The word "ad" definitely has some negative connotations associated with it, I like the idea of referring to our Listnerds communiques as mails, because even though we all earn from them in one way or the other, a lot of them aren't trying to sell anything at all, but rather are offering information. It's pretty interesting to see the how marketing is evolving thanks to the conjunction of affiliate marketing and blockchain tech, I am excited to see where it goes!
And thanks for such a thought-provoking post!
I agree. It will be interesting to see what happens. Thanks for the thought provoking comment
