> The woke pop videos management were making

Oh that's amazing. Reading your comment, at first I didn't notice there was a 's' at "videos".

They're all great. This made my day.

A company producing videos like that deserves to die a painful death. Just like the 80% drop in Meta stock was a good slap for the horribly dystopian video they produced with the bunny losing its job then finding comfort in the metaverse.

I'd like a tracker finding companies producing similar videos so I could both have a good laugh and short them to death!

Why be such a hater?

The videos are stupid, and funny. I liked them (or at least the two I've now see). Marketing money gets spent on far worse things, including stuff that is actively harmful to the world.

It's not like the genre of silly bank commercials is something new-- banking is inherently pretty unexciting, so a commercial played straight is really boring and predictable. "We're trustworthy, you can tell by the vast landscapes we're showing with shaking hands".

The criticism would be justified if the video was like some wolf of wall-street coke fueled money mania or something. But a bunch of mostly ordinary looking people singing some cheesy pro company song? Nothing wrong with that.

I generally find people being genuine-- and sometimes that means awkward-- to be more trustworthy than a highly polished marketing machine that might be covering up for god knows what.
