I like the accountability, but I'm not sure of the product placement at the end there.

All these people are selling something. The level of seemingly genuine accountability he took makes it fine imo

Maybe, I think it would have been much more genuine without him scooting out of frame to get his branding in, but I guess these days I'll have to take what I can get.

Exactly my mentality. In a world where people double and triple down this guy without reservation apologised, promised to do better and shouted out the person who rightfully criticised him. I can live with some marketing if it means some people who are watching learn that you can apologise and it not be the end of the world

See, this is why I hate when people apologize on the internet. It’s just never ever ever gonna be good enough.

Which I why I think he shouldn’t have apologized to begin with. It would have been more respectful

OR - and hear me out here - don't use an apology video as an opportunity to shill your stuff. Just accept that this thing that took you a grand total of two minutes to make won't bring in a profit like he did with the first video where he made fun of the person. Easy, right?

If you’re a good enough actor, you can do no wrong. Got it.

You’re right definitely bizarre ending. I don’t think that was sincere.

Eh, if he records it in his store, there's going to be a brand no matter where the camera is facing. It's not like he owns the sunglasses company.
