when it is about your product or service?

Social media is the perfect vehicle for this, and so the spicy opinions flew through cyberspace at breakneck speed. Most of them were one-liners, to which it was almost impossible to respond. For example, a certain Vince found it 'unsavory filth' and PV Emmen recommended the song as a new torture device for the American army. Just so we know.

People have opinions, and the Dutch perhaps have the most. In the past, they were kept to themselves, but nowadays they are shared directly with the rest of the world. Not because it is possible, but because it is necessary, or so it seems. With a song, that is not so bad, but how do you react

7. Criticism of company becomes criticism of person
You can't say that the King's song doesn't connect, because we all think it's bad. And if you don't think so, you don't dare say it out loud anymore. The criticism quickly shifted from the song to the composer and now the main characters are threatened with death. For a song!

Some people wear their heart on their sleeve and not everyone is equally gifted in vocabulary, but it remains strange that criticism of a product can so quickly turn into anger towards the maker. The same maker, by the way, who is responsible for almost the entire repertoire of Marco Borsato, which is also not without some pathos. But apparently we like that.

After the nationalization of SNS, Twitter called for bombarding CEO Sjoerd van Keulen with emails. A few days later, he was in hiding abroad due to serious threats. Whether the criticism uae phone data of his leadership is justified or not, how do you deal with such a situation?

John Ewbank was completely fed up with all the criticism, withdrew his song after just one day and the National Committee respected the decision. All's well that ends badly, you could say, but that wasn't the end of the story.

Suddenly an article appeared in the NRC questioning whether the song was really that bad and others analyzed 'the profit of the screamers'.

You can lie defenseless on the ground and be humiliated to the bone, but apparently we find that a bit sad too. In this way, the underdog position suddenly offers opportunities again and I wouldn't be surprised if the next single by John Ewbank breaks all sales records. As a heart under the belt, because that's what we Dutch are like.
