I think you’re absolutely right. They’re counting on this becoming a trend. They know that this kind of tech is viewed as being for obnoxious dickheads. So they’re leaning into it, encouraging dickheads to buy them and be obnoxious whilst using them in the hopes that they too can piss somebody off enough to create a viral video. Then the news reports follow. The fact that these things are being discussed in the news will encourage even more dickheads to buy them, including dickhead influencers trying to get exposure. Then fans of those influencers (also dickheads) will buy them and eventually they’ll become normalised.
I’m not a marketing person but this sounds like a pretty awful strategy tbh.
Maybe, but this is Meta we’re talking about. They’ve been using hate and division as a marketing tactic for most of the last two decades.
Yeah? It seems to work, though. Have you seen that orange guy the amerikkkans love?
