Definitely not spending 8 minutes of my time on a “protest” video that somehow ends up advertising a corporation.

I did read the transcript in the post and the reasoning is idiotic.

It’s not advertising a corporation lmao, he spends half the video ranting about how much he hates Microsoft

  Cool, cool and as a revenge he chooses a cute looking symbol made by said corporation. Yeah, that’ll show them!
  
  That’s free advertisement, all common people need to see is a funny ad featuring Clippy and suddenly all the profile pictures will have a different meaning.

    I have no idea why you’re so proudly ignorant.
    
    Just watch the video or move along and accept that you aren’t informed.

    That’s kinda rich coming from you. The video is not needed at all. I don’t care about the intent, the fact remains that people are spreading Microsoft’s mascot online.
    
    Simplified enough for you to understand:
    
    is what I said true? Just a yes/no question, no reasoning, no explanations, no reality twisting
    
    if you came to the conclusion that yes, it indeed does spread Microsoft’s mascot online, here’s another yes/no question: will most people read or know the reasoning behind?
    
    if you chose no, they won’t know the reasoning, here’s the last question (this one is not a yes/no question, might be a little harder for people like you): given the two above facts, will this be perceived as a protest by most people, or simply as using clippy for fun/nostalgia/whatever reason?
