The image, shared by entrepreneur Roshan on X, quickly went viral, racking up over 1 lakh views ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘€, igniting a heated debate on the controversial "human ads" marketing tactic. Roshan sarcastically commented: โ€œVC: How much funding do you need? Startup: 5 million $ VC: Whatโ€™s your customer acquisition plan? Then: Human ads. VC: Take my money.โ€ ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ญ Many social media users expressed discomfort, with one stating, โ€œThis ad is in too many places now, and it doesn't feel goodโ€ ๐Ÿ™„. Another said, โ€œ Maybe itโ€™s just me, but human ads make me so sad, theyโ€™re walking around with that heavy thing on their backs for God knows how longโ€ ๐Ÿ˜ž. One user commented, โ€œ Capitalism at work... India with cheap labor ready to be exploitedโ€ ๐Ÿš๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก. What do your take of this marketing trend ? Let us know! ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ‘‡
