A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@Chozo The end of the video:

But Dbrand did offer

... is basically advertisement for the brand, packed into "a joke". Why would they mention it otherwise?

And the video itself is monetized.

I did, and disagree with you completely. You don't have to be so pesimistic about life and look for the worst things in it. They wanted to lighten a mood a bit, maybe it didn't land well for you but It don't see any ill intentions behind it.

Btw, how would dbrand know they're making this video? I doubt LMG reached out to them and told them, wouldn't make any sense.
