Was Facebook’s Meta announcement a botched example of PR hilarity where we all make fun of robot Zuckerberg? Or did they expect that we would do exactly that, making it into a fantastically orchestrated PR maneuver, where Facebook’s public relations team successfully distracted us from unpleasant truths and the true nature of the company?
In this video, I suggest that it’s the latter and that we need to be more wary. If you think that a PR team like Facebook’s can’t use memes like “reptile Zuckerberg” for their own benefit, I think you are underestimating them.
