#Perplexity offered to buy #Google’s #Chrome #browser for $34.5B. The offer, likely a #marketingstunt, aims to challenge Google’s #websearch #dominance and signal to the judge in the #antitrust case against Google that there is an interested buyer. Its value to Google is in avoiding paying other companies for default placement, making it unlikely Google will sell. https://spyglass.org/i-offer-to-buy-jupiter/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Why did M&M's have to choose
To suddenly put the spokescandies on pause?
It's hard to tell the real reason why,
Maybe the Super Bowl's near, and they'll fly high.
Will the M&M's deliver in the end? #WonderingToKnow

Was the Recent M&M’s Announcement Just a Stunt Leading Up to the Super Bowl?

Was the company’s recent decision to sideline its spokescandies a response to cultural backlash, or just an elaborate stunt leading up to the Super Bowl?
