I'm amazed celebrities are willing to wear these in advertisements. Public backlash has been incredibly loud, and I wouldn't be surprised if they lose followers, end up on boycott lists, or even have to shutter their private brands.
Can't believe their PR teams are letting them do this. It's like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
They probably don't see Social media unfiltred
He snuck that dirty little secret in the tech world in there too. Paraphrasing but, No technology takes off unless it's adopted by women. I don't think that's entirely true. Maybe for fashion type products like phones or glasses? But video game console don't seem to need women, neither do 3d printers, etc. I'm sure they help the numbers, but I don't think they need them. I bet he's talking about mobile phones, ear pods, these glasshole products, etc.
"No technology takes off unless 50% of the population doesn't outright reject it" isn't exactly what I'd call a novel insight here. IDK.
