I was also interested in what the unattractive advertising community was like. “About 25% of our membership is actively posting ads, commenting and reacting,” Owen tells his Bored Panda. “We have a core of about 50 ‘regular UAers’ who have been with us since the early days. Members generally share a rather “British” sense of humor. They appreciate sarcasm, wordplay, wit, and surrealism, so they seem to enjoy the group on those terms. is. You never know what’s waiting for you on the approval list next!”
Owen also analyzed several factors that make for the perfect “non-irritating ad.” “Ideally, it should be a low-priced or low-quality item and include blurry or irrelevant photos,” he explained. It should come with an unrealistically high price tag, bonus points if the seller confidently announces “I know what I have”. Advertisements for used clothing must be marked as “unworn” and accompanied by a photo of the garment clearly worn. Elite-level advertising offers buyers the opportunity to pay a privilege by removing cumbersome or large items from the seller’s property (such as a derelict shack) that would otherwise be disposed of in a municipal tip. ”
