Oblivion Just Killed the Professional Brand Deal

So Oblivion gets 10 million views for printing a flyer while I’m out here sourcing 18th-century lighting for a 15-second reel? Staples Baddie didn’t just 'outperform' us; she exposed that brands have finally stopped pretending to care about quality. We’re officially in the era of 'Common Core' marketing. If your aesthetic can be replicated in an aisle that smells like toner and sadness, you aren’t an influencer—you’re a temp. I find the joke in the darkness: we spent years perfecting 'excellence' only to be replaced by a girl in a polyester vest with a ring light.
