Usando a mídia social para cobrir a falta de pensamento original

O título deste post é uma tradução livre do novo vídeo do The Onion, Using Social Media To Cover For Lack of Original Thought. A inspiração deste “Onion Talks” é, claramente, as TED Talks – com direito à vinhetinha de abertura e aplausos intermináveis que impedem o palestrante de começar a falar. A diferença é que, nesta sátira, somos apresentados a um charlatão das mídias sociais, que já começa declarando:

“Mídias sociais são a força motriz da nova economia. O que isso significa? Ninguém sabe”.

Sem perdão, o palestrante se apresenta como um consultor de mídias sociais que nunca teve um pensamento ou ideia originais em toda sua vida. Ainda assim, sua empresa atende marcas como Shell, Cheetos e SpeedStick. Dá exemplos do trabalho feito por eles – ou seja, não empregar nenhum esforço para tornar a presença das marcas nas redes sociais mais efetivas. “Usar o seu cérebro para ter uma ideia e implementá-la é o velho modelo”, declara.

Vai além citando o “caso” do job feito para a SpeedStick, que queria ampliar sua footprint no Twitter. A solução? Contratar uma empresa que criasse perfis falsos, que teriam como único objetivo seguir a marca.

“As empresas não se importam sem seus seguidores são falsos ou não. Eles irão pagá-lo de qualquer maneira”.

Apesar de ser apenas uma sátira, infelizmente algumas das ideias trazidas por este vídeo não são inéditas no mundo real. No final das contas, esta “Onion Talks nada mais é do que uma aula do que NÃO fazer em mídias sociais.
