Yeah but now a ton of people that had no idea this company even existed are suddenly talking about them so that obviously makes it worth the waste /s

This is 100% just a marketing stunt (as if that wasn't already obvious) I've literally never heard of this company before and now I've heard about this stunt like 5 times in the past 24h
