    I took an electronics class as a kid and my teacher told me that my solders were "like the tears of an angel" and that i could work at radioshack. I took this as a complement of the highest order. Then when I got to working age, every single radio shack had officially closed down. I was devastated, even though I had never set foot in one to this day.

    Some of them aren't interns, but are independent contractors or do freelance work. I've had friends handed an independent package by a company to run their social media. They get paid, but they aren't seen as official employees of the company. This is so the company can actually save money. In Radioshack's case, it isn't true at all though.

    Radio shack was important because they were almost the only place that sold electrical components if you were in school for engineering. Even though I don’t need parts anymore it’s my understanding there is still a major brick and mortar gap for students and there really is a market for bigger cities to each get one or two RadioShacks.

    I'm lucky enough to live in DFW at least. TI is a major player here and my school was even founded by TI, so there's tons of analog and digital component stores here. Would definitely suck to live somewhere that doesn't have any at all. Also RadioShack was founded in Fort Worth and there's a few RadioShack Express shops hanging around but they aren't overly useful outside of some light hobbyist supplies.

    Yea, my uncle does electronics recycling and the majority of his sales, as opposed to scrapping, is in components like motherboards, hard drive trays, charging cables, even cards for students to learn how to resolder with since he has a shit ton of memory, hard drives, etc that are too old to be sold as actual parts anyone wants. So I could definitely see a company being able to push into that space that is very much online currently. Like the best widespread store I can think of is Best Buy and they dont sell much as far as components and tend to be pretty expensive

    Well, idk about attacking that guy personally. As I worked in marketing my experience was that many people there find at least parts of their job stupid or cringy, too. They are part of capitalism like all of us tho so they have to do what they get paid for. Not everybody is able to have a job that they personally 100% stand behind. Now, I do agree that working for what is basically a crypto scam is shitty but we don’t know his situation and maybe he doesn’t even see through that (unlikely but still). I think it’s wrong to blame individuals who work in marketing because most of them don’t even get to choose the marketing strategy, they just execute it.

    Let me tell you a little story about my HATRED for R.S. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and had chemotherapy appts. So, after one of his apts, he desired to go to the mall and look around Radio Shack. The Drs had given my dad pain meds and due to that, he was a ta_his words were a bit slurred, he was somewhat disoriented, all skin and bone, and his hair had fallen out there was no way you couldn't tell he didn't have cancer! I still remember how awful the douchbags at Radio shack treated my papa and him tearing up in our old station wagon. My beloved, big burly Irish father essentially laughed out of Radio SHACK because an associate and a manager felt the need to get impatient with a cancer patient. Less than 6mo later my dad passed away at 50yo. I was only 9. I will never forget and I refuse to ever go back into a Radio Shack. :(

    As a person in their 40s, this video is fascinating to me. Of course, I remember walking into Radio Shacks. Like, for cordless phones and power strips. It’s weird to find out they are trying to keep their brand alive with a crypto move, and super weird to watch them try to market themselves in this bizarre, tone deaf way. Living in the dystopian future, y’all. I’m exhausted. The most interesting thing is to watch Jarvis, validly and successfully employed in a profession I couldn’t even imagine when I was a kid, analyzing very earnestly the different layers of wrongness of Radio Shack’s approach. It’s cool to watch Jarvis’s tech background inform his voice as a creator. YouTubing is a real ass job, y’all. I always respected it, but I definitely appreciate your work even more now.

    This video was honestly really cathartic for me because I've had some arguments here and there with friends/relatives about this sorta "relateable human brand" bullshit. I tell them how stupid and awful they are and the response is usually something like "at least people are talking about it", that the publicity and awareness are worth lots of people on Twitter thinking they're stupid and embarrassing (in terms of them making money I mean). I never could think of a good way to explain what's wrong with that, but you're absolutely right when you put it very succinctly, "it doesn't convert into sales". Like, yeah, people are talking about it, that doesn't mean it's good or helpful. I think a lot of people, especially older ones, still buy into the idea that all press is good press when, surely by now there's plenty of evidence that's not true. I seriously doubt I'm a rare case in that I avoid buying things from companies that piss me off, at the very least.

    Yeah, like if your movie has a screamer ad, I'm not gonna watch it and I'm gonna encourage others to wait to rent it from the library or something. The only way that "all publicity is good publicity" is for services that are unique, because then people don't have a choice really and the goal is for people to know this thing exists. Marketing experts sometimes just don't understand the power of spite. Maybe if this was just Radio Shack coming back in a regular Radio Shack capacity, it might be something. I know people who used to buy Steinmart clothes and would be interested to know that there's more of them again. But it's not even that it's an old brand coming back, it's that it's a new brand using an old brand's name. If I'd only seen these tweets, my thought would've been "Oh Radio Shack is back, I'll keep that in mind next time my car charger breaks." Not "Oh I'll go see what new product they're shilling." It's just, ugh. Modern marketing is a pain.

    for anyone curious on an update heres my recap of scrolling the website as of april 2024: the unicomer group (owned radioshack from 2009 to 2015) repurchased the franchise in may 2023 and apparently there are some stores in latin america. doesnt seem like theyre doing much with it right now. everything is very unfinished and theres suggestions that they sell things or have locations but besides the comment about latin american stores theres nothing actually there

    okay upon looking at their sitemap (because of course theyre too stupid to hide or clean up that shit) reveals some interesting information: the site is being updated pretty regularly with updates as recently as march 2024 on the /policies page. the only (visible) page that was last updated before 2024 is /2fa which redirects to /r4di0shack2023 and prompts for a wordpress login. apparently their plan is to turn radioshack into a franchise business where people can use the brand and open their own stores.

    "The post you put out, it's kinda weak" says the dead brand that everyone forgot about in 2013 that's been dug up from the grave and zombified in order to sell some crypto scam. Ironically, I hope this type of marketing actually does die. I wouldn't say that horny posting is inherently bad but it requires WAY more self awareness than is shown by capitalists.

I had to watch the part about Tai Lopez buying RadioShack and Pier One and turning it into a crypto thing 4x because what the fresh hell. Jarvis is absolute correct - all this attention creates NO conversion. The marketing team are all asshats and we truly live in the darkest tidmeline.

    god here's the thing. when you got the relatablity part.... i had to pause in anger because it's one of the biggest things i've had to UNLEARN during university. you can't just say something is "relatable" when pitching it to any given media studio, you have to have SUBSTANCE backing you up. like, my class had been working on this project where we pitch a tv show to the rest of the class as if we're pitching to netflix, right? and the first thing we were told was "don't use the word 'relatable', it's a crutch word and tells us nothing about the show". a show being relatable is NOTHING, and a tweet being relatable is NOTHING. it doesn't MEAN anything. it's a useless fluff word and arghhhh i am so sick of the concept of "relatablity" cropping up everywhere. i don't want to relate to your brand, i don't want to relate to your tv show, i don't want to rELaTE to people who providing me entertainment, i want to know what it's offering! and you're SO RIGHT about this twitter being useless fluff! it's MEANINGLESS. im yelling from the gd rooftops death to the concept of the "relatable" brand, of the "relatable" tv show, of how quiRKY everything is!

    @@kphoria1009 you very much misunderstood my point in this very reply. my point is “relatability” is a fluff word that has broad and varying responses. being “relatable” can mean anything from a character shoplifting (which not everyone can relate to) to queer experiences to the experiences through racial and gender lenses. you cannot have a one size fits all relatable protagonist without turning them into a blank, uninteresting to watch slate. it is not the job of a protagonist to be relatable, it is the job of a piece of entertainment to engage you. people should not be watching for “relatable”, but rather for entertainment.

    I feel like the big difference is, brands like Wendy's make us feel like the brand is a person whereas it's obvious that the RadioShack twitter is not only a ploy but it's coming from the person running the account. The posts also aren't relevant whereas companies like moonpie either respond, or make relevant jokes to their merchandise. RadioShackCrypto doesn't really have merchandise... at least not in the sense of relevant merch to the brand... the original brand. Like we all know moon pie sells moon pies. RadioShack is known for electronics... but this rebranding is so unrelated it may as well also be selling moon pies. I hope this makes sense. It did in my head. Also, the RadioShack crypto merch doesn't count. Only hardcore cryptobros want that shit... that said, because of the notoriety and the sheer lack of people who will buy it, if anyone in the future wants it ironically, their merch could end up being worth a lot. But it's a pretty big gamble. Especially since so many things that were much more popular are worth nothing regardless of the supply:demand ratio.

    this average 19 year old persona they seem to have is very alienating. When Dulingo makes a joke about their bird being people's sleep paralysis demon, it's witty and funny but when a brand makes basic 13 year old boy horny tweets, then it's doomed to fail. Like I saw that tweet and like clockwork, didn't felt like it's a brand I can follow since I don't relate to it. There is a very small percentage of horny guys, who are also invested in Crypto would buy into this. Interestingly enough, I don't think those guys have much capital to invest.
