SCOTTeVEST founder and former CEO Scott Jordan said in a Facebook post that his former company "primarily advertise[s] on Fox because we find their viewership to be extremely gullible and much easier to sell [to]"

very good post @davidpakman

This is pure lack of respect for individuals.
Maybe he is done gaining his wealth for the product.
Maybe whoever is going to purchase these items don't even know about twitter.
Thanks for informing us about the hypocrisy in this world.
Keep on steemin'

I think watching Fox news can actually lower intelligence. I have seen it happen with family members. Maybe that's a rule for all TV viewing.

what mic's are you guys using?

They are Electrovoice RE20 microphones

not to distract from the information you shared either, i was just interested in the technical side of things, thanks for letting me know.

I've come up with a competing product. It's a pair of pants called Plenty-Of-Pockets and you can store a large laptop computer in them, if you want, along with your bike helmet, bicycle pump and 20 oz stainless steel water bottle and large coffee mug. Oh and you can store a toddler in them too. Who wants a pair?

HAHAH, yes exactly.

The US public education system is 28th in the world.It's not a coincidence,smart people are much harder to be controlled by misinformation,so those on the top decided a long time ago that they don't need them.One school after another close down,the number of teachers are decreasing,meanwhile the only thing you see on each tv channels is propaganda.

It's a sort of decentralization, in a way

Dumbing America down as a way of decentralization??Interesting point of view...

we'v been trained to be idiots (-:

I think we're being trained socially to act a certain way. It's labeled political correctness to make it sound like its a bad thing to go against. The guy's just having a laugh. I mean, the 2 guys in this video are making fun of the product, but their influence it mucn lower so they aren't an example for us to be
Programmed

By the way, what happened to the Keurig on TDPS...? I didn't follow up on that one.. .0:23

Consensus was that we should not destroy it, so we placed it in the common kitchen area of our office building and now everyone uses it, lol

What, are you in the keurig rescue business now?

oh, no, i wanted to see it destroyed :(

If Fox News (is) the most-watched cable news network for the 191st consecutive month, then wouldn't it only be logical for a wares peddler to advertise with them because they'd be seen by more people? It makes perfect sense to me.

He might think that the people who buy his vest are gullible, but then wouldn't that make him a damn fool for bringing a product to market that he doesn't believe in?

If he thinks that the people who buy his product are gullible; does that mean that his product doesn't work?

I find that hard to believe, what's so complicated about pockets? Is he implying that he's a con man, do his vests actually not come with any pockets at all?

I'm with kouba01 on this, it does indeed sound like Trump derangement syndrome. Poor feller, I'm sure by the time they publish the next DSM they'll have a pill for that too.


"My friends and family who know me well, know that I am completely transparent. I can not lie. I can not act. I pitched a product that I believed in, and reacted honestly to the heated debate that ensued."


So he believes in his product. Yet if you buy it, that's supposed to mean that you are gullible? If that's not sociopathic behavior, I don't know what is.

I agree corporate controlled media like FOX and CNN is a problem in this country. Its incredible to see how some people and their thoughts are so easily controlled by what the media pumps out. The only thing I don't agree on is the point you made regarding Alex Jones and his supplements. My grandparents were from India and I take Ayurvedic supplements daily. I do not touch pharmaceutical drugs or even Tylenol. I cant even remember the last time I needed to see a doctor. I happen to know quite a bit about different Ayurvedic supplements and their various benefits. The ingredients that Alex has are top quality and work wonders for people. I have tested them on myself. I believe what he is doing is a good thing by making these supplements more available to people who would not normally be aware of their benefits. With that said I prefer sources direct from India when I can get them to be honest.

I never understood the argument against Infowars based solely on the products they sell. The majority of items they promote are just a white labeled version of stuff you'd see in any health foods store and are recommended by a lot of different people in the health space.

Main difference I can see is that some items are marked up quite a bit, but if their audience wants to pay a premium to support them then what's the issue?

Maybe the people your talking about would rather swallow overpriced ineffective pharmaceuticals that offer nothing more than devastating side effects, as opposed to overpriced health supplements that they could actually derive benefit from.

why am I not surprised ...

The Truth is our dear Steem was one of the MOST UNDERRATED crypto platform out there, not until the big news of its increase in value which brought about it's being used so actively now on a daily basis.

Till tomorrow, Steem is great! You create something and watch the free market work all for you. If people like your content, you get cool bucks

Thank you for this information @davidpakman.

Now i suppose everyone will be posting facts to get instant $$

Soon the whole world will know about Steemit and Steem will skyrocket farther than the moon!

Very nice.

nice theme good luck

I think that's an awesome product. Beats backpacks which cause skeletal problems. Hipsters.

Actually its a fucking god awful product. The functionality is a gimmick and in real life when you go to put that vest on you'd realize how awkward it would be to have a bunch of shit underneath your thin shirt. Bad style choice as well.

What are you talking about?

Well...looks like someone showed his true face already...

Consider the source. Financially stupid move. Rude, offensive, and childish. All because he is gullible enough to have media induced Trump derangement syndrome.

Its a retarded moron calling normal people stupid. Laugh, and tell everyone you know to not buy the product.

whoa, easy there

I agree with Pakman here, @kouba01. Just because he's making a mistake in the public sphere doesn't mean you should join him. If you are that much better than he is, your words and actions will reflect it.

Scott Jordan, owner of ScotteVest.com, and his wife are both lawyers. Scott Jordan presented a similar product in Shark Tank. He started belittling with that same stupid smile to the Sharks on Shark Tank and said to them all that it is their loss if they don't jump on board now.

He came across as an arrogant, spineless prick that ALL Sharks asked him to leave. This guy is a egotistical retard. You really need to see this Shark Tank episode.

He claims that his company has the only patent that allow clothes with secret pockets and that also allows "tunnels" for wired electrical devices to be hidden and concealed.

Mark Cuban called him out said that is NOT a patent and that companies make clothing with pockets in them all the time and having the ability to concealed the wires of electronic devices can be done in so many ways that it would NOT violate this idiot's patent.

how dumb can you be to say something like that out loud on twitter

5:10 I don't know what survey you guys did, but I personally only signed up as a member for The David Pakman Show because I was hoping for "Buy 1, get squared 23" homeopathy deals and "The Cuck Starts Here" merch... ;)

Mainstream media is a joke! Viewers watch this garbage as if it is gospel. I am always sickened to see the mindless devotion to mainstream networks such as Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, etc. There is an obvious bias in the reporting and the fact that people don't know this blows my mind. If you are going to watch this crap at least broaden your horizons and tap into some alternative media sources. It is a known fact that cooperate media is aligned with certain entities that are not watching out for the average citizens interests. There has been an agenda by the elites in every society to misconstrue reality and divert attention from the facts. I despise these media outlets and hope that Americans continue to wake up and adjust their viewing habits.

I've only recently started its registered steemit first concern is that you, like your words, you must have is a man of the story, hope to meet you

Fake news radar going off.📡

Interesting

hi guys! im new here! i just started new series called "today in history"! check it out, maybe you find it interesting! :)

Amazing post boss
I am Joe and am a new member on this platform.
I just followed you because i dont want to miss any of your posts.
Please can you take some 2 seconds and follow me back .
Because i have something good for you all.
I promise not to skip you when i buy my steem power.
Actually, i have made my mind to buy steem power as soon as possible.
Erm... Anyway thank you .

could not understand anything but your earning lot of money lol...

Well, those at the top of companies aren't idiots. Psychopaths in a way, yes. Inhumane, yes. But definately no idiots.
Although ... the exception proves the rule, doesn't it?

Alex Jones vitamins and herbal supplement products actually work. His products are of higher quality and that's why people buy from his website. I have tested a few of his products.

hahaha, good one!

Oh really thats what HE thinks about it now. Why didnt He own up since.

Really Childish!

They are pretty damn retarded men, insulting customers is quite stupid

The corrupt journalists that covered #GamerGate also learned this lesson the hard way: Never, EVER insult your audience. They are the ones that write your checks, and they are the ones who will take their money elsewhere.

So where's the lie?

Only utter idiots watch this sad excuse for a TV channel and believe the horseshit they call programming.

You would think the company would have a non-disparagement clause in his contract. The guy must have never heard the term "Don't bite the hand that feeds you".

WOW ! Very good article. Welcome in steemit . I invite you to browse my profile. Have a nice day and good luck!!

We gave up following the MSM years ago. Too hard wading through all the propaganda for the rare and occasional nugget of truth.

the vest its ugly and not something my generation would wear. Plus did Scott forget about backpacks or pockets?

if you like good videos check out my channel .... cheers! thank you all!

Just wait in a matter of time when TV has become interactive and were able to push our platform steemit something similiar on to the interactive TV with a system of a upvotes from the community control and funding rather than paid advertising.

wow..hav been finding the name of the founder of SCOTTeVEST name thaanks for the post/.

oh

Thank You! ⚜

Letting people know you have contempt for your customers is a great way to lose business. If you put stuff out here on the internet and think it is private eventually someone will find it.

Advertiser admits viewers are idiots

Because they are.

Sorry to say, I know it's unpopular, but in virtually every community with easy-to-join systems suffer from a "smart few, dumb mass" syndrome.

Even Steemit does.


If it was otherwise, we shouldn't need blockchain and stuff because democracy would favor those it intends to: the nation itself. Not a wealthy few.

Hi dear.

I think you are expert on steemit. I need your help. Can you help me to increase reputation & suggest me how to improve my blog with everything that i don't know.
