I’m sorry but your position is wrong. A face mask that doesn’t filter all light is bad design. A face mask that doesn’t filter the light it produces itself (blue light even!) is awful design. It certainly is not good enough.
Whether it makes money or not is irrelevant. Tons of people buy stuff because they don’t know better. Maybe it was a cheap mask, or maybe it was the only one sold at airports, or maybe it had aggressive marketing, or the Bluetooth feature was niche at the time. None of that has to do with design.

- brudgers 3y agoDesign is not a consumer product. It’s not a product at all. Design is a B2B business where some clients want prisons and others Bluetooth sleep masks. You can imagine that there’s an existential difference between sleep mask buyers and inmates. But neither writes the check.
