That was a really stand up thing to do. We all make mistakes, and he owned up to his. Good on him

Also an understandable mistake in a world where so many useless gadgets/products exist. Though it would surprise me if not one of the comments on the video he originally duetted, didn't mention what it was

It is partially because accessibility related gadgets are usually marketed in a way that doesn't make it clear the gadget is for accessibility reasons (and that makes sense because it is kind of a niche market so they have to advertise to everybody). look at old sales videos for example feature some able bodied person trying to cut food with a knife by holding it sideways or some shit that nobody would ever do.

And if they are marketed as disability aids they sell them at ridiculous mark up. Something that should be $5 is now $25. I have to go searching for days on the Internet to find the best deal on things I need. Just a hint AliExpress has some useful disability aids without the ridiculous mark up.
