Pretty surprised this hasn't been flagged already. It's clearly content marketing that doesn't have anything of substance.
As for Warby Parker, it is not a particularly innovative technology company, which is neither a good thing or bad thing on its own. I will give it credit for being a solvent business with a working business model. I interviewed for a pretty high level position there and was pretty unimpressed. I got the impression of a company that has an undifferentiated product, more funding (and likely dilution) than they should, fairly slick marketing, a healthy dose of startup kool-aid combined with altogether pretty ordinary people who were really sure they were doing something more technologically sophisticated than running a DNVB.
Given how late stage they were, I was surprised by their offer being as mediocre as it was, and I took a competing one. No regrets.
