My buddy's walls look like a topo map now.

Yeah, @nancyjones is right, but man, the scale is totally different now.

My bank's fraud line once put me on hold for 47 minutes.

Look at who the ad actually reached though. Viral stuff often just gets seen by other marketers or people who like funny videos, not real buyers. Like @morgan_king36 said, it's a lesson, but the real takeaway is knowing your audience wasn't even in the room. You paid to entertain strangers, not to find customers. Next time, test a small amount on a targeted group first, before going for a big splash. That way you learn what works without the huge cost.

Honestly it feels overblown. Most of the code rules are there for safety, not to make work harder. A chart on a phone doesn't mean the old way was wrong, just maybe not the only way. Guys have been bending conduit fine for decades without an app. Sometimes new tools just complicate simple tasks.
