Classic corpo arrogance.
They can't just make their product and enjoy the millions the publishers pay them, no, they have to be liked by the public (who aren't even their consumers), they just have to have a Twitter account and a Discord server, and post their shitty little #epic #memes.

A burning desire to be liked by the general public, call it Elon Syndrome?

I've been saying people need to shut up more on social media, turns out it applies to companies too.

I worked for a company that hired a PR firm after we got 1-starred reviewed to hell because we shut down a right wing hate site.

To try to "improve our image", one of the PR firms proposed we make a tiktok and wanted staff to do dumb ass dances?

Like wtf. We sell B2B.
