The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

I sometimes think that FOMO in the tech world is a real fear that keeps these tech execs up at night. Even if it was obvious dumb bullshit I think a lot of these guys have seen so many tech empires rise and fall so rapidly to the point they're barely even remembered and I think there's a fear that they could be the next short sighted dummy who writes off the new technology as a fad and completely misses out on the next game changer.
