Admit it. Internet drama is very likely a guilty pleasure of yours. Let me be the first to say that it’s OK and we accept you wholeheartedly because we’re not so different.
C’mon, who doesn’t like to see a public spat? There’s something magically taboo about that we often don’t see in public and that’s why it’s so juicy. And, hey, it’s even better when it’s corporations having a go at each other’s virtual throats, which this subreddit is celebrating on the daily with screenshots and posts showing just how toasty it gets.

Wendy’s On Crack

Wendy's has just opened near me. I must say,after trying the rubbish at McDonald's in the past,Wendy's is much better quality food. More expensive but much better

The Wendy's here is awful. The McDonald's is clean, and usually the food is as good as McDonald's food gets. The Burger King is dirty.

It is no secret that social media has become the dominant channel of corporate communication for many businesses. And it’s not just one-way communication, but also a dialogue between the companies and their customers. As well as rarer cases of conversations between companies and other companies.

Wendy's vs. McDonald's

I can't figure out what all these posts about broken ice cream machines are about. Never happened when I went to a McDonald's here in Canada. Worked in one, too. Literally, the only time the machine was out of service, it was being cleaned. Been to McDonald's in a number of provinces. Never happens here.

If my memory serves me correctly, First was Neil Armstrong followed by Buzz Aldrin of Apollo 11 then it was Pete Conrad followed by Alan Bean of Apollo 12
Some examples are more extreme than others, but there is a reason why companies ought to be careful with their communication.
Some might be of the opinion that bad publicity is better than no publicity, but there’s a whole discussion of how that’s not always the case and where it can go south really quickly.

Old Spice vs. Taco Bell
Cyber Returns 1 year ago
William Lightfoot Schultz was inspired by his mother's potpourri, and as a result, the first Old Spice product in 1937 was a woman's scent called Early American Old Spice.
BarkingSpider 1 year ago
Old Spice absolutely has no right to talk trash about the name of ANYTHING with s**t like Sharkhammer as a scent.

I thought you were making a joke about how ridiculous some of their deodorant names can be, but no! I googled it and sharhammer is real lmao. Deo companies need to chill
Load More Replies...P. T. Barnum, the showman behind the phrase, was in a business situation where it actually made sense to generate more buzz through controversy and scandals. However, not all businesses can (or even should) thrive on it.
The other argument is that publicity is one thing, but reputation is a whole other can of beans.

Load More Replies...
Publicity is viewed as achieving awareness. There is no good or bad per se as it is just that—awareness, knowing that something exists. Reputation, on the other hand, is what carries over into people’s minds as what something is and why it should or shouldn’t matter. In turn, it is what ultimately makes people decide on whether to invest into something or not.

Moon Pie and SunnyD have always had a Twitter rivalry, which is weird considering one is a cream pie and the other is game orange juice
And since we’re on the topic of terminology, Nikki also differentiates between the terms publicity and PR. TL;DR: they aren’t the same.
The purpose of PR is to manage a company’s reputation. That is done through good relationships with the public. So, good PR would mean that a given company has a positive reputation that reflects what it stands for.

I think what Wendy’s was saying is that it’s only played during indoor recess, because its a game that a lot of schools have and are played on bad weather days that children are stuck having their recess indoors. I will say that we play it often as a family, and among friends after dinner parties wind down. It’s not the most challenging but is good for allowing a secondary conversation while playing and the light hearted petty drive to get revenge is fun.

As such, PR is a means to gain good publicity, and just that, in order to form good opinions of the company by the public. Bad publicity is not something PR does in that sense.
Now, you might have noticed previously the not always the case part when explaining how bad publicity is better than none. There are anomalies.
A good example of this is Elon Musk. His posts on X have great influence over Tesla stock prices. Heck, their fatal car autopilot crashes and the Cybertruck window failure were also a testament to how detrimental these things can be to a company’s value. But, with that said, sometimes it won’t matter and the company will continue to increase in value despite it.

Between 2018 and 2021, Tesla stock managed to jump from around $70 to $900. The reasoning behind it was that the creator’s words didn’t matter—everyone already knows what he’s like in person. However, when they buy a Tesla, they feel like they are buying a part of the future. And if something is awry, they are quick to address the issue. And it’s been consistent.
