Don't hate the player, hate the game. There's a ton of evidence out there that whether you like it or not these kinds of thumbnails are effective at driving views.
At least Corsair are honoring some of the previous discounts that they cancelled (if the customer complains, eventually, and in a clumsy way). If it is true that Corsair laid off over 100 of their staff it could explain their confused response.
Can't blame them for trying to get into enterprise business when the consumer gamer side is going to implode due to DRAM prices and all the money is going into AI datacenters.
