Thank you. What do you suggest I do? Remove the professor and entrepreneur voices?

  I'm not sure. But it sure did take me off guard. Perhaps Attenborough?

  Just pick somebody completely neutral with no political slant whatsoever. There will unfortunately always be people - on each side - who are rather sensitive.

    It looks like you haven't been following the guy on Twitter.

Professor = Jordan Peterson A very good look for many, many people, so I'll assume you are talking about the other guy who I've never heard of.

  I was talking about both really.

  Gary Vaynerchuk (GaryVee) wrote Crush It and is pretty synonomous with hustle culture. He loves the grind and promotes that as the way to move up in the world, if people so choose. I guess people get upset when someone on the internet (that they could easily ignore, just as you have) tells them to work harder. He's also loves promoting arbitrage plays... so I kind of blame him for the insane secondhand markets on a ton of normal stuff. Everyone is buying up all the stock and trying to flip it for a profit so they can be like GaryVee at garage sales. This does bother me. I went to go buy a new pair of shoes I bought 3 years ago for $90, but no one has them. I looked on eBay and they are going for $600. That's madness. It's not just Gary's fault though, it's the companies that opt for "drops" and hype over scale and actually meeting demand. But that's a whole differnet rabbit hole. Both people have a lot of fans, but also get a lot of hate from a particular demogrpahic. I assume the majority is indiffernet.

  I don't think the point was that the voices are controversial (that can be debated) but rather the questionable legality of using essentially a deep fake of a celebrity's voice and selling it.

I actually like the Gary V one. I think using voices that people are very familiar with is helpful for showing the ability of the product. It allows me to A-B the voice with how I know Gary's voice is in my head.
