I'm 90% sure it's not to actually be used. It's to make people post about it online and have their brand pop up. It's a product that requires no R&D and they can create a nice story of their product connecting families. It's good marketing honestly. It's got people talking about it here at least without even realizing they're sharing an ad.

    Is there a HailCorporate comm? Maybe we can start one for Lemmy, just without the crypto-scammer mods this time.

    Every time someone mentioned any brand name on reddit, some idiot screeched "r/hailcorporate", like it was some kind of gotcha. I wonder if the guy here on Lemmy that was removing artists' signatures from comics was one of them.

    Someone would ask for advice, you'd say, I had a good experience with this item, and the "r/hailcorprate" shills would show up.
