    Brand name perception matters a lot 🫤 I wish it didn’t, but it does.

    It makes perfect sense. Names are incredibly important to widespread adoption. As are pleasing colors.

    Many people don’t know what a Stoat is, or that it’s an animal. A meaningless nonsense word (In the mind of a normie) will not drive them to use it.

      So your argument is that people are stupid so they should change the name. That’s not very compelling imo.

        It’s not a question of intelligence, it’s a question of recognition and partiality.

        That’s not very compelling imo.

        That explains why nobody has consulted you before launching a brand.

        Most tech names are nonsense to average person, yet they succeeded just fine.

        On the contrary, most successful tech names are very recognizable and attractive to the average person, and the ones that weren’t were less likely to succeed. Facebook, Twitter, InstaGram, Windows, Apple, Amazon, all are very recognizable words or portmanteaus of descriptive words that are attractive to average users and are meant to convey a specific emotion or feeling. Meanwhile it’s been years since Twitter changed its name to X and yet nobody calls it that, and everybody still calls posts on that platform “Tweets”.

        Like, this billion dollar industry doesn’t cease to be so because you personally don’t find it compelling lol.

  I miss when Element was called Riot.IM, also a stupid lawsuit that never happened but they changed the name to avoid a lawsuit anyway.
