Meta is in big trouble. DuckDuckGo just dropped their own smart glasses for just $35. Because we all know the Meta Ray-Bans are sick, but they go for hundreds of dollars. And everyone right now is trying to make the best glasses, like Apple and even Samsung is trying to. But this is about to change everything. Because the DuckDuckGo glasses for just $35 has one of the cleanest looks, the best packaging, and polarized lenses. Nobody at the beach asked if I was recording them. It has no AI, no cameras, a glossy DuckDuckGo logo, and polarized lenses. DuckDuckGo mocked the Meta AI glasses, the internet went crazy. That's right, DuckDuckGo purposely launched their own glasses with no camera or AI features to just mock all these other companies that are trying to make AI smart glasses. This is another example of just absolutely genius marketing that is perfectly on brand for them. DuckDuckGo is specifically known for protecting users' privacy. And we all know that this right here is the complete opposite of privacy protection. So not only was this marketing able to make fun of it, but they were also able to make sales on their glasses and go extremely viral for pulling off a stunt as hilarious and crazy as this one.
