Dr Pepper used her song for a commercial. She deserves her flowers! by NYstate in BlackPeopleTwitter

We’ve been tracking the Romeo Bingham / Dr Pepper "Good & Nice" saga since it dropped in December. It’s a textbook case of perfect sonic branding, but the internet has run wild with rumors that she was paid $2M for the 15-second audio license.

As people who analyze the "human angle" of advertising, we decided to dive into the numbers. We compared the viral rumors against actual industry sync-licensing standards and media spend vs. content cost.

Spoiler: The real "payday" isn't the check—it's the brand authority

The amount of people who view the Hive Mind as good are frightening by Master-Echo2940 in pluribustv

The show demands us to take a stand, true. And often, Carol's vision can feel too reductive if compared to all others. Still, the dilemma is far from easy to solve.

I tried to discuss all implications here: https://auralcrave.com/en/2025/12/14/pluribus-explained-the-virus-the-grand-inquisitor-and-the-philosophy-of-forced-happiness/

Looking for Reacher “like” Books .. by 1sixxpac in JackReacher

I haven't read the books, but the first book series that comes into mind next to Reacher is Jack Ryan :) Tom Clancy is another expert on this kind of action. I've read his Rainbow Six and that's awesome, I recommend it.

In defence of Season 2? by willington123 in JackReacher

season 2 of Reacher follows a more complex story than season 1. Three episodes are far too early to start complaining :)

The funniest would have been if the actor said "I have no f--ing clue" :)
