  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.

    It is a question of intelligence if you’ve never heard of a fucking stoat before.

      It is not. Stoats are not a very commonly talked about animal species. Their name isn’t even consistent across regions.

      I had to look up what a Stoat even was because I only know them as Ermine, and in North America it’s called a short tailed Weasel.

        Then you’re exactly the kind of person I’m talking about. Fucking touch grass.
