Ask HN: Looking for blog post about conversations in Apple ads

1•TuringTux•4mo ago
I am looking for a blog post that was once (I think no earlier than 2020, probably around 2022) posted on Hacker News.

It discussed the placeholder (faux) conversations that Apple uses in their ads and demos, and pointed out a few recurring patterns. One pattern discussed was "the group chat where everyone but one person went on a trip, and said person now requests to see pictures".

The blog post mentioned that many of these patterns seem weird upon closer inspection.

I have been unable to find the blog post using conventional methods (HN search, external search engines, AI-powered search engines) -- the largest confounders when searching about Apple ads are posts discussing (and usually applauding) their copywriting stiles, the largest confounders when searching about weird Apple ads are posts discussing ads which lead to public outcry; neither of which I am looking for.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks, that (i.e., the linked blog post https://maxread.substack.com/p/a-literary-history-of-fake-te...) is exactly it.
