Fantastic campaign. The "Go jump in some water before the data centres drink it all up" billboard on the beach doesn't mince words ... ( https://www.businessinsider.com/polaroid-anti-ai-data-center... ).

Really cool. I believe they did this in 2025. I remember seeing this last year :-)

If you catch yourself thinking this is cool/impressive, just mentally append "so buy our product!" to any pithy little marketing drivel you read to help ground yourself in reality.

“Company pleads that we’re analogue creatures and should pay them $1 a photo to save our souls.” I want to like the message but it just leaves a bad taste.

That's a smart commercial indeed! I would like to see more commercial like these.
