    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.

    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?
