Hong Kong marketing strategy by paiheuin HongKong

[–]mod83 -2 points-1 points ago

Bar the occasional loss-leader Groupon deal, promotions in HK are crap - a year's worth of Park'n'Shop points bought me a pair of bastard scissors.

Nevertheless, they seem to work. Every few months, folks will queue overnight for the latest gimmick (a McDonald's Snoopy or what not). I guess companies don't have to try when there is no competition and it's easy to play on people's Kiasu.

150+ photos of ART HK 2012: Hall 1 (spoilers!) by mod83in HongKong

Here's the second instalment of about 80 more shots (from hall 3). I'll put up a video of moving installations soon.

ART HK is on throughout the weekend whilst SpoonHK also starts tomorrow... It's $100 and is based around 2 floors of the Grand Hyatt (message me if you'd like a free ticket.)

WHO THE FUCK IS DOWNVOTING EVERYTHING!!?!?! by fugor1103in HongKong

[–]mod83 -3 points-2 points ago

Do you mean original content (link to things made by me) or original source (linked to original source of someone else's work)?

edit - I can usually explain if I didn't link to OS, but it's just downvoted (like this). As for original vs someone else's content - my ratio is probably about the same as the rest of Reddit, right?

WHO THE FUCK IS DOWNVOTING EVERYTHING!!?!?! by fugor1103in HongKong

It does need more people to post content and check the 'new' queue - my posts are only prominent through lack of other submissions.

Mods have the option to hide the down arrow, if only as a temporary trial - most won't know how to bypass it.

vincidahk rightly spots that new posts are often instantly voted to zero and so never appear... It's not Reddit or a bot applying downvotes as submissions made in the middle of the night do just fine. (Plus, it can't be automated as no other sub-Reddit behaves the same).

r/hk's blue arrow issue disappears overnight whilst American subscribers are active, so I guess a few folks are sitting in HK doing it.
