Nice to get it straight from the horse's mouth. Thanks.
Although--I personally think that it is stupid to post the information on social media and not on the company's website! Social media was (I am using the singular verb here because I'm using "social media" as a singular thing) created for, well, socializing, not advertising. The fact that social media (plural) have been able to monetize (boy, how they've been able to monetize!) their business is beside the point. Websites, while not created for advertising purposes, claimed that ground years before social media got into the act. Now, some companies--apparently Open Media is one of them--will ignore the Web when they advertise, and use only social media sites to do it! It doesn't make sense to me. And, personally, I hate all of the social media and stay away from it like I try to stay away from the Zika virus. I doubt that I'm the only one. Therefore, I think that companies are losing money when they skip using their websites for things like these.
Thanks for letting me vent.
