That marketing video on the homepage is... not particularly convincing, and watching it gives me secondhand embarrassment.
You mean you weren't convinced by the argument that if MLK or Lincoln didn't have access to Facebook the world would have been a different place?
Or was it the credentials of "I bought $12 of Bitcoin when I was young and it increased in value" that didn't sell you?
It seems like a slam dunk from over here, so I'm confused as to what you didn't find convincing....

Wow. Is this a parody phone or something from The Onion?
Reality has become indistinguishable from the onion since somebody actually built and shipped a five blade razor

The website states "Pre-Loaded Apps Some of the most popular banned & unbanned conservative sites & apps. Come pre-loaded directly on your Freedom phone." It's basically "Conservative Phone"
"con phone" for short

#46Wikipedia has a good summary for anyone unfamiliar; it's a $120 phone whitelabeled and sold for $500. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umidigi_A9
Love the irony that the "American Conservative" Freedom phone is just a generic phone from a Chinese tech company...

Does that video... actually have the "Activate Windows" watermark in the thumbnail?
...It does! I honestly don't know what to do with this information. Is this an intentional message? It's extremely overt.
I wonder if it's similar to how some phising emails will contain intentional grammar and spelling errors. I've been told that this works as a filter, since savvy people will be put off by such things leaving only the easy targets.

Reality overcame the Onion when somebody actually built and shipped a seven blade razor. I wish I were making this up.

Wow. With "secondhand embarrassment" you have deftly labeled a feeling I have had so many times in my life but have never been able to succinctly name.
That term even has its own Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicarious_embarrassment
It’s a pretty popular German word as well: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fremdsch%C3%A4men
