    I love response to the backlash. It’s basically “Sorry our video was cringy and tonedeaf. We have removed the cringe.”

      Did they change the video? I was at least impressed that they acknowledged the interest in the video but didn’t realise they might also have made changes.

        They did, and I quote:

        As to comments/criticisms on the tone/style, Yeah, corporate videos are corporate videos!” the company then said, adding a shrug emoji.

          I saw the original and the changed one. The only thing that it seems they’ve changed is to add the precursor message, acknowledging the palaver. The rest of the video looked the same.

            Ok. Fair point. I guess I should say, they addressed their cringe. But I still thought it seemed like they were feigning concerned but actually doubling down.
