What I want to know is: if you've got a product that has been market tested and proven for a decade to be creepy, why do you pick a celebrity with a creepy dad to promote it? Are they just trying to own that sliver of market share that doesn't care?
Is it really that hard to see why people like Kylie Jenner would like this tech? Taking videos from your exact POV is appealing. They dont think or care about the privacy aspects and are likely already completely brought into a world of Meta/google/apple tendrils in every part of their life.
I mean they are giant dorky looking I'm a pervert glasses. They are gonna fail. Dudes are gonna realize that they are creepy and announcing themselves as creepy by wearing them. Take their money.

Because the only thing that garbage family cares about is money?

I wonder why?

Celebrities live in a world totally divorced from reality, humanity, or consequences.
This is always the answer.

Wrong.
You're talking about wealthy people, not celebrities.
japemasterBrad@programming.dev · 54 pts · 33d
Money is the reason

Why? Because they get paid to do so.
slingstone@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 32d
This is the correct answer.
Money. Money is the reason.

because they get paid...?
Is it hard to understand for some people that "influencer" is a job title that actually hides very little of the day to day business they do.

They have already sold out by definition so their fans won't care if they attach their name to capitalist surveillance tech.

I mean, along with being complete sell outs, I think they are also just creepy people as well.
They fit the smart glasses personality.

We already had a word for them: "shill."
"Vapid greedhead" would also work.
mavu@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 32d
yeah, but now we have a new word for it, and it's "influencer".
DarkCloud@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 33d
People with no other talents, who just want money.
I mean fuck, it's a family of yatch girls.

I worry about the author's capability to perform basic functions if this is a legitimate question of his.

extreme greed
stoy@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 33d
Doesn't even have to be extreme if you don't understand the risks.

Money!

I’m annoyed that Ninajirachi licensed one of her songs for the ads. That sounds like the Holly-Herndon-shilling-NFTs of the 2020s.

Money talks.
adarza@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 33d
that whole family is off-the-rails, but with her reach, she could do a lot of good... but instead, this.

Abyssian@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 30d
Because they have no personal morals and will do anything for money. Was that hard to figure out, or just an easy way to write a clickbait headline?

Creepy person endorses creepy technology. More news at ten.
