Then this PR stunt worked I suppose. I still see no need to create yet another derivative sans-serif typeface. Especially for an online streaming service of all things.

No. You know that's not what I'm saying. There are many other very respectable typefaces available that they could have used. This one, while it may be custom made, *looks* generic. If I never saw this post, I would have zero clue they made it in-house. This is a PR stunt to get attention on sites like this.

Waste of time and money on their part. There are more than enough typefaces in this world that look just like this one.

Sadly, I can't read this article due to the hard paywall. Is The Verge actively trying to shrink their readership? Why would I want to subscribe to yet another monthly subscription if I can't even get a taste of what this one is offering?

We need to separate our emotions from these things. I understand why people don't like AI, or are fearful of it, but we need to have good faith arguments about it. Not this. These articles are just cope.

According to what I've heard, IKEA rechargeables are rebranded eneloops.

Apple dropped the "i" naming scheme many years ago.

These are all extremely minor issues. 2 and 3 are not even relevant to 99% of normal users. Very few people want to spend time manually organizing photos like that, and albums do essentially the same thing. The wobbling thing is a non-issue. It doesn't even wobble unless you're pounding down on the phone on a table.

I have no data to back it up, but I believe HN saw a huge number of redditors moving here after the user protests a year or two ago.

That's true but infants are far smaller than adults. It takes a lot less (of anything) to have an effect on an infant.
