On: BMW unveils car sprayed with Vantablack

I thought the ways was: “There’s no such thing as bad publicity.” Which has the opposite meaning to the good publicity saying you’ve quoted.

[ozzmotik → pushpop]

they were quoting the same quote you were but reframing it to make a point. there's no such thing as bad publicity more or less semantically conveys the idea that all publicity is good publicity, more often than not (though it could also imply that it could be neutral.)

either way, it is a bit confusing of a way to render it

Ahh yes, you’re right. I completely misread the GP. Thank you

There is an implied, “when it comes to revenue,” before that maxim.

Sometimes people care about other things than revenue.

That wasn’t what I was querying. My confusion was because I misread the GPs post and thought he was literally quoting the saying when he said:

> not all publicity is good publicity.

...rather than that being part of his own commentary on the saying.

It was really just a parsing error on my part rather then a disagreement with the point he is making.
