🤯 A photo of men carrying billboards to promote a Swish food delivery app in Bengaluru has sparked outrage online 😡📸. The image, shared by entrepreneur Roshan on X, quickly went viral, racking up over 1 lakh views 🔥👀, igniting a heated debate on the controversial "human ads" marketing tactic. Roshan sarcastically commented: “VC: How much funding do you need? Startup: 5 million $ VC: What’s your customer acquisition plan? Then: Human ads. VC: Take my money.” 💸💭 Many social media users expressed discomfort, with one stating, “This ad is in too many places now, and it doesn't feel good” 🙄. Another said, “ Maybe it’s just me, but human ads make me so sad, they’re walking around with that heavy thing on their backs for God knows how long” 😞. One user commented, “ Capitalism at work... India with cheap labor ready to be exploited” 🏚️💡. What do your take of this marketing trend ? Let us know! 💬👇
