"Maybe Ramon should go onto wiener dog forums, groups, subreddits, and advertise his product."

Wow. Have you tried this? Reddit mods will ban you in 5 seconds if it smells addy. Forums wtf? that is a niche niche thing these days. Even if you have good standing with a Twitter - that is close to a full time job building followers. FB makes a ton of money - cause this stuff is locked down.

It’s the “if they can’t have bread, why don’t they eat cake?” response to the small business owner needing ads. They’ve never tried to advertise a small business critical to their livelihood. If they had, they’d know. That’s why their response is tone deaf and unrealistic.
