Getting downvoted by kids too young to remember that gen-x era slogan from toys r us marketing materials.

Which is in a way, is also a subversive commentary on the value of brands. Billions spent on advertising in the 80s is worth nothing more than a downvote on HN today, despite endless claims of the immense value of sunk cost in marketing.

Possibly also getting downvoted by people old enough to remember but who don't consider repeating an ad slogan from 25 years ago to be valuable commentary.

Branding requires maintenance, like anything else. Your database from 1980 doesn't work flawlessly for 40 years... neither does your branding.

Gen-x era?

I'm a gosh darn industry murderin millennial and I remember it.

Agreed. I'd prefer to leave those kinds of comments on reddit.

They're just as useless on reddit, no need to be smug about your choice of social media platform.
