I think it’s just guerrilla marketing. I got an email today from a standing desk vendor I met at a conference urging me to join them in celebrating Juneteenth.

And to buy a desk.

I wonder what the conversation rate is for these woke-facaded ads. Maybe companies are geniuses/amoral jerks and these things work.

I have noticed people assuming that available data are representative of the population and I wonder if companies are making these decisions based on thinking that tweets/online activity are uniform with all people.

I had a colleague who would say “any change is better than nothing” and then make changes after talking to a single person.
