    FR idk why they thought it would help them at all.

    Basic economics for anybody with the initials E.M. and a net worth in the billions:

    1. Unless you’re product is drama and intrigue, there is such a thing as bad publicity.

    2. Exposure can only increase demand with diminishing returns up to a asymptotic threshhold. A brand that everyone already knows about won’t see increased sales from promotion.
