Tangential comment, I'm a passionate follower of formula one and have realised that basically anything advertised on F1 cars is "bad". Cigarettes are the obvious historical example, FTX is the more recent one.
There's many that are socially acceptable at the moment but only with the caveat of either "in moderation" or "for responsible adults": energy drinks, crypto, etc.
Google Chrome is one that a decent debate could be had about.
Microsoft Dynamics might be the exception that proves the rule... But I've never worked out what the hell the product actually is.
- sianemo 3y agoDynamics is Microsoft (somewhat poorly) making a Salesforce for people who are all-in on the Microsoft ecosystem. In terms of collective human suffering caused per year of existence I would say it's on par with the rest of the stuff you've mentioned.
- nickpeterson 3y agoThat’s uncalled for, people temporarily enjoy drinking and smoking, nobody temporarily enjoys microsoft dynamics.
- Fuzzwah 3y agoI made this comment purely from my impressions of the team's major sponsors and the ones that I've noticed. Realising that I'm rather advertising blind these days (like all of us, I figure), I thought I should actually dig up a list and have more of a think about this idea. https://formularapida.net/f1-2023-list-of-partners-sponsors-for-each-of-the-10-teams/ https://formularapida.net/f1-2023-list-of-partners-sponsors-... Safe to say, my comment above is hyperbole. Still, I wonder how many of the companies in the linked list will be considered "bad" in 10+ years.
