Enjoyable to see these mockery sites. The original Hey marketing was just asking to get mocked. Hopefully they take it in good spirit. The lesson learned I think is, don’t act like God unless you want to get mocked for it.

I like this parody, but I don’t understand what you are saying about Hey’s original marketing. What’s particularly arrogant about product designers saying they’ve identified and solved a problem?

Here’s what they originally put up, for reference: http://web.archive.org/web/20200207101953/https://www.hey.co...

So psyched! Had to leave my billing details in the comments of the reserve page. Fingers crossed.

Hey all :) creator here (and yes, you can reach me at linus@heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com).

Was talking with a friend last night and I bought this domain on a whim because I thought it would be funny. And then spent a couple hours making this landing page and it's since turned into this elaborate joke. Hope it added something to your day~ haha
