I've been sick of the marketing push about this for months by now. Just let it be over punished-bernie

    I think people have just accepted that they have to participate in viral marketing stuff now because it's the only way to relate to half their friends, families, and coworkers. Like, did anyone believe for a second all these zoomers were that into Grimmace?

      Idk. At a certain point, complaining about this stuff feels on par with the scalds who were angry over jokes about the Titanic Sub.

      Yeah, a lot of the shit in the news is a marketing gimmick. But what else is new? Getting worked up because people made Grimace memes for a few weeks after some McDs ad guy spent too much money to force the subject to trend gets us what, exactly?

      People like movies. Both these movies appear to be well received. So people are piling on a thing that looks fun.

      Nothing wrong with that.

        Ah forgive me comrade I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to express my frustration about being saturated with astroturf marketing, and that I especially couldn't do it on a communist website

        I will promptly return to the pod and eat the bugs
