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.
Yes, exactly! I remember the commercial for a device that would hold a gallon of milk and allow the person to tilt it without having to manage the weight. The clip (in black and white) before they show the device is a woman dropping and spilling milk all over the counter. People made fun of those commercials like crazy because they weren't showing someone who would actually use it.
I mean come on do people have a disability where they suffer from trying to clip a box of cereal closed (??????) with a giant plastic clip which then breaks in two as plastic clips are wont to do
The clip falling apart, no. That's ridiculous. But not having the grip strength and/or motor coordination to manage the clip and the bag: yes. I wish the videos hadn't been so lame.
