do these idiots not know what an NDA is?

jesus christ the cringe

They're convinced they're the smartest people in the room. Convinced to the same degree they're convinced the sky is blue and water is wet.

the worst kind of shitposters, the self righteous kind

Their ideas are too bland to be realized as value, hence why they wouldn't understand why he wouldn't want all of his R&D to get out

Did @Timcast say the reason why his partner manager dropped him, more of that Fullscreen dropping people due to "risk" to themselves or different reason, I noticed no music in the video so must have happened between recording and editing

i mean some people have a point about not doing a press tour to show people your family recipe. i agree that a NDA does cover basicly "if you tell people this im legally alowed to fuck you" but at the same time its kinda like wtf is the point?

what really is the point of a press tour with NDA?

publicity without giving away trade secrets... its like Disney hyping movies without giving away the ending... fucking trailers

what if you...did a press tour without showing them secrets?

to show off how good all your things are.... but limit what they can actually say to what you're willing to publicly show

It could actually be an embargo, so they could reveal it and talk about it later

it gets people thinking oh there's really great things on the horizon, they cant actually say what it is but it influences their writing to hype the stuff they are allowed to talk to more then they would have otherwise

its like opening up your chocolite factory to the public after 20 years and getting angry when you notice the film crew

it just seems dumb

yeah I agree, it seems to backfire more than it benefits them

i see it as an example of a the complacent relationship with media the world has built up over the last 100 years

Smarter Everyday did a video on a Hapatic glove about a month ago... i bet that was based on a NDA and they reviewed the film and asked him to blur stuff before release

maybe the idea is to get people writing about shit before you ever release it so that its in the public sphere before its on the market

yeah for sure its part of their marketing, but they want to build hype 1 or 2 years from release but don't want a competitor (perhaps in a different country) taking that knowledge and releasing something just before them

which i get, but its actually not nessicary, the reason its probably happening like this is because in a competitive move for marketing a long ass time ago someone did it, it was successful, and to stay competitive with eachother everyone adopted it, but in reality before when no one was doing it, it was on the journalists initiaitve to talk about these things and the realtionship has shifted to one of expectation rather than anticipation

and those who expect something will expect more

yeah plenty of kickstarters have promised heaps and delivered sometimes nothing

this is more of a journalism issue than an advertisment issue

specificly as im talking about it

anyone seen this pewdiepie thing? https://twitter.com/pewdiepie/status/1000136776852426752

vice really is trying to dig themselves into a hole they can never escape

yeah that's pretty common and what i've come to expect from vice

remember that "retreat" island video vice did.... hypocritical much

this is just actual slander

Can we copystrike vice?

well i know what tomarrows pewdiepie video will be about

i wonder if someday tim might work for pew news

that could work out

he might ignore it since he's already said he doesn't want to deal with that situation anymore, him responding to vice any more than he has will just get other media outlets defending the indefensible
