Companies didn't seem to really be on it this year compared to previous years. I didn't see a single rainbow profile picture this month, somehow.

they are catching onto the fact that no one will really care about it whether they do or dont
(aint no one cancelling a company or whatever for trying to pander)

maybe more precisely, it's not really all that decides how people value a company, and an attempt to cater/pander will minimally affect most people's impressions of other things like labor practices or something environmental or otherwise political... though sometimes the heuristic decisionmaking people operate with would probably draw someone to something that signifies something culturally agreeable with/to them and that would simply be all that's needed without anyone looking any further

some people care a lot and find comfort in corporate pride-month aestheticism, but a lot of people view companies with distrust. that being said, many of those same people still consume the products whose production involved something that people might consider dubious-- and in a lot of people's minds, it's not necessarily because they want to, it just is what they can afford

and so on. not that i actually understand this subject at all, but there seem to be more intuitive conditions and contexts for why companies being graphically made of rainbows would probably mean very little in the face of other matters. its a sort of irrelevance that does not exist on its own, but in a relative weblike network of contexts involving other things

they're just dancing in our rhythm, people found it cute in the beginning, it worked, it doesnt anymore so they stopped.
after all they dont need to, they sell products, they're not a social movement of any sort. if it helps to sell they'll affiliate with the devil himself, while making you believe the devil is the embodiment of christ.

Doesnt make much sense, since those babies will one day grow up and have more babies to consume more nestle products.
Although I would love to read something serious about this topic, if you could link.

This article doesn't seem too bad.
It makes as much sense as tobacco companies. Just because a product is deadly to those using it (or others) doesn't mean people will stop using it.

ok, from what I'm reading they were accused of spreading misinformation about their product being a substitute to mother's milk? well, I dont know if their formula contains anything that are aggressive towards a newborn human, but changing mother's milk for formula is something many do, be it because not enough time to feed the baby, the mother didnt produce enough milk or the baby is allergic to her milk (and would die if not fed the formula lol).
the aggressive marketing is surely scummy, but common nowadays, mainly kellogg's does the same.

substituting a healthy baby's diet for formula while the mother is able to feed him (has the time, has the milk, baby is not allergic) is not recommended, and if nestlé somewhat bought those doctors to say otherwise, both nestlé and the hospital should be held accountable for their "biased" marketing to their product over real milk. now if the formula had something that would kill the baby, like sugar (dunno why nestlé would do that since this would just kill their reputation taking their profit to the grave with it lol) then surely they should be held accountable for killing the babies.

agreed, generally

though i suppose it doesn't stop people from commenting anyway, and political subjects tend to implicitly exist as secondary vehicles for socialization while the primary purpose can be anything from "commisseration" or "solidarity" down through "informative" and onto "levity" or "mockery" or something

...well, no that's not quite accurate, it only would describe one possible frame of it and it's not necessarily seen or considered like that for that many people. sometimes it's just really personal. and sometimes people like to share personal things when it seems real/authentic, or something. there are other explanations, but...

...mmn, it doesn't change that in practice, the true political playground is often a disastrously despairing display and it is hard to hold onto the various little positive crumbs we can find from it

something like that, maybe? idk

i think the heart of politics is opinions regarding people

however, i think people mainly want to avoid contested and controversial issues, rather than just a blanket ban
