Oh it was a member of the company? That’s embarrassing.

For anyone wondering, this is a response to a review Marques posted about Humane’s AI pin, which he called the worst product he’s ever reviewed:

Lmfao I had a feeling it was about humane. Marques’ criticisms were valid af, as usual.

An honest review isn’t what’s going to kill their business. Even a bad product in and of itself isn’t necessarily what could cause the death of their business — it’s their not adequately tempering consumer expectations. From the sounds of it, they’ve oversold what the product can actually do, and are charging a price based on this fantasy.
If you’re honest in your marketing as to what your product can actually do, and charge a corresponding price then consumers and reviewers may be more forgiving. Where companies like this one which are doing fairly experimental stuff fail is when they over-promise and under-deliver. And reviewers will always take them to task when they do that.

Don’t think he’s a member of the company though.

Its a joke to think a single reviewer could hold that much power. Fact is, multiple reviewers are in agreement that it’s shit.

Yeah, especially when it’s a total nothing product ‘we removed the useful bits of a phone and charge a big subscription for the free tool most people disable or ignore’
I feel like no one even needed a review to know this is trash

If that thing was a lightweight, cheap companion to a cellphone with a decent camera I could maybe consider buying it, because I do like some concepts like dealing with single tasks like adding an it to a todo list, playing a song or checking out a qr code.
The way it is now it’s a grandiose piece of crap, too expensive for its own good.
