Update on Alisha’s Depop -
Within hours of my bringing Alisha’s Depop ban a second time around to the public square her account was re-instated.
Somebody 3rd party is looking out for us, it would seem, and for that we are grateful.
Additionally, there appeared to be many odd duck actors e.g. having brand new Facebook accounts who offered to send us to so-and-so to see about their services of getting re-instated. This was my personal account to which they posted, mind. Having been censored for going on years, it was a bit overwhelming having so much attention all of a sudden to my personal page when in fact I rarely if ever get so much as one authentic like on my active and busy public presence. I construe at this time these actors to be part of some sort of ‘reputation management’ ploy, that is my opinion.
This also on my public presence:
"Oct. 11, 2023
One technique of ‘reputation management’ pushes bad content / opinions (content which hurts the firm’s reputation) down ‘below the fold’ by pushing irrelevant or superfluous content ‘above the fold.’
The target audience is none the wiser as the audience only sees the desirable or irrelevant content while the content which is not desirable gets pushed to the bottom of social media or search results.
Another tactic utilized by reputation management firms is to hire people (real or otherwise), voluntary or paid, to ‘like’ a post or the inverse to ‘dislike’ a post which negatively affects the firm’s reputation.
Reputation management is a big business these days, and there are firms which get paid lots of money to manage the reputation of their clients. Still other firms have in-house reputation management staff.
So the next time you see ‘bs’ content on the top supported by lots of ‘people,’ you might be witnessing a firm which is managing their reputation.
These are only a few examples of ‘reputation management.’ The reader is encouraged to explore other tactics utilized to distort the public image of a firm or firms.
For example, threatening to sue a person or persons for exercising their right to free speech is yet another tactic in the tool belt. And reputation management can also be used to harm another firm or individual’s reputation.
The reader needs only to google ‘reputation management’ to explore more tactics.
Where have you seen these and other ‘reputation management’ tactics before? Is it moral and lawful to leverage public resources or captivation to this end?
