I don't understand why anyone is treating the display of a QR code as an advertising concept that an agency invented.
1. This is what QR codes are for
2. There's a whole section in QR codes ensuring this is possible
3. This is not even close to the first solely QR code advertisement
Don't get me wrong - it's douchey for CoinBase to pretend they came up with something
But also ... did ... did anyone come up with something here?
It seems to me like it's pretty similar to my saying "you should fill that glass with water," then you filling the glass and saying it was your idea, then my saing "how dare you, I invented filling with water"
I don't get it
- datadata 5y agoCoinbase isn't just claiming to have come up with the concept, they are claiming no ad agency could have come up with the concept. I could see how this could ruffle the feathers of an ad agency.
