This is not how you do tasteful expedition sponsorship. I want to hear about the Athletes and their story first and foremost. Exactly how many times does DJI

This is not how you do tasteful expedition sponsorship. I want to hear about the Athletes and their story first and foremost. Exactly how many times does DJI shove their brand name or their product name in our faces in this footage? The Athletes themselves are mentioned practically as a footnote. And some not even by name but by social media handle. That's beyond icky, imo.

Hundreds of bored middle aged people summit Everest annually. There's not all that much new to learn about the experience; it's not the feat of atheticism the first attempts involved. > And some not even by name but by social media handle. That may be their preference.

    I can find videos of people dying in car crashes, too, but that doesn't make every soccer mom in a minivan the equivalent of an F1 driver. Everything involves risk. Yes, you can die on Everest if you're unprepared, or unlucky. The same can happen in the Adirondacks. I'm far more interested in the stories of folks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirmal_Purja https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirmal_Purja than plain old Everest summiters, which has been conquered by folks from age 13 to 80, double amputees, and the blind. (Those folks, I'm interested in. Tech CEOs looking for a thrill? Nah.)

> Exactly how many times does DJI shove their brand name or their product name in our faces in this footage? I count two times, the last time together with the name of the people doing the expedition + capture of the footage. How many times do you count?
