Anyone remember when a certain oat milk brand paid to promote a megathread about their new ad campaign, with comments open, and just got savaged by Reddit? The funny thing is that generally people seem to like the product, but hated the smug marketing so much it turned real bad, real fast.

I wonder how they're doing:

The stock has fallen 42% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 SPX has gained 23%.

Ha.
