Very disappointing to see a supposedly serious corporation giving legitimacy to such a blatant scam.

Very disappointing to see a supposedly serious corporation giving legitimacy to such a blatant scam.
- moate 5y agoThere's a point for me, difficult to define but obvious when seen, where a scam/project becomes SO obviously a scam that I no long feel bad about it. Like "nigerian princes" always felt this way to me. If some idiot wants to blow their money on this sort of thing (and IDK why brands are exempt from being run by idiots) that's their problem, and not something I'm going to waste mental energy on beyond a post like this.

This is marketing, and marketing can be one of the less legitimate corporate endeavours (being in most cases literal manipulative propaganda). Serious corporations don't really care what negative externalities they cause, just as long as they don't have to pay for them. They've bought a little cred with whoever they wanted to impress (be that the crypto kids, or olds painfully trying to be hip).
