Even the corpse of RadioShack has been brought back from the dead with the promise of crypto riches. Scrolling through their partners is like a who’s who of old defunct 90’s brands. DressBarn?? It makes it crystal clear what their strategy is.
I have fond memories of RadioShack, it’s part of what got me into computers and electronics. But taking those memories and weaponizing them against me to try and extract what I can only assume is money, feels wrong on so many levels.
If anything (and I don’t think I’m alone in this sentiment) I will avoid this new Frankenstein creation. That said, I’m sure it will still entrap enough people to make these two guys even richer while still being a net negative for society as a whole.
File this under the same drawer as Mariah Carey partnering with McDonald’s to sell more junk food.
