Ad Fraud, an Elephant's Grudge, and a Milchmadchenrechnung - ExchangeWire.com

Elephants, those magnificent behemoths of the wild, have long captivated our imagination with their intelligence, intricate social lives, and, most intriguingly, their phenomenal memory. They remember water sources, recognise individuals, and retain trauma, cruelty, and specific threats for decades. And they are truly masters at holding grudges. Now imagine if the advertising industry had the memory of an elephant. Imagine if we actually remembered scandals for more than two weeks. If we held grudges. If we drew conclusions from repeated failure, acted accordingly, and held others accountable. Instead, we forget. Constantly and/or conveniently.
