Is DuckDuckGo going down the DBrand/Wendy’s model of irreverent, self aware marketing? I’m pretty tired of it being honest. Also, are they actually trying to make money from this? A satirical social media post would get the point across. But they’re actually selling these for some reason.

Some company just placed DDG logo on existing model of glasses and is selling them for exact same price as a joke. It’s not like DDG started manufacturing glasses specifically for this joke.

You make it sound like DDG aren’t involved at all. They very much are.
