Mumsnet advertising is shit

Saucery · 12/07/2024 15:03

I keep reading it as ‘Dalemain’ and thinking “Well, it’s a lovely old house and the Marmalade Festival is amazing, but I’m not sure why there are so many threads on it”

Chaotica · 12/07/2024 15:04

Me neither.

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/07/2024 15:06

Marmalade Festival, you say...

LaLoba · 12/07/2024 15:07

Neither do I. Pretty sure I know a man wrote the ‘ironing is blissful’ ad though. Absolute horse shit.

Marmaladefestival sounds interesting

Dfg15 · 12/07/2024 15:09

I wasn't sure where it was, had to Google.
Mumsnet must have shares in hotels there.

I cain heaps o folk fa’s o’er air noo.

TrumpetOfTheMatriarchy · 12/07/2024 15:12

I agree. Just how many threads advertising a holiday destination does a mums site need?

DON'T GOOGLE. That's what they want, the bots...

YANBU. Nor do I know anyone who says ‘vacay’ or ‘take the fam on a cruise’. I am clearly not the target market.

Katiesaidthat · 12/07/2024 15:13

Hahaha I was also 🙄at these Dalaman whatevers. Not really sure where it is and can´t be bothered to Google.

Oh no ! Didn't even think of that 😕

DuchessofSaltmist · 12/07/2024 15:17

The advertising on Mumsnet is getting increasingly desperate and ridiculous.
No idea where Dalaman is but 4 adverts for it on just one page made certain I wasn’t going to go and find out.

This is sneaky viral advertising for the festival, right? Very clever...

AllyCart · 12/07/2024 15:27

Why not use an ad blocker and then you won't have a clue what this is about, like me. 😂

Uppity7 · 12/07/2024 15:28

Yanbu. I have no clue wtf Dalaman is and also don't care. Nobody is there, nobody wants to go there. Piss off, Dalamanbot.

It’s somewhere far too hot where no one in their right mind would choose to go in July.
(hence the adverts)

IkaBaar · 12/07/2024 15:44

We’ve use an ad blocker on our home WiFi- it’s great!!

Dyra · 12/07/2024 16:09

I genuinely thought there'd been some algorithm shenanigans at work when I checked out Flightradar 24 and randomly saw a flight going to Dalaman, then had to Google to see where in the world Dalaman was... Good to know it's not just me.

I keep seeing that one in Active, usually next to a thread from the Feminism & Women's Rights topic.

You've just reminded me again of the cheese festival DH and I realised last night that we've missed by a week 😰

Same here. It’s like they’re trolling.
