Cloud Security, Now With Socks

Description

A dark-mode Twitter/X promoted post from verified Cisco Umbrella, @CiscoUmbrella, says, "You know that feeling of a new, snug pair of socks that makes you believe anything is possible? Yeah, well, we want to give #ITsecurity folks that feeling - attend our webinar to receive a fresh pair!" The embedded ad shows striped blue-and-white socks and an orange Cisco panel reading "Cisco Cloud Security Live Demo," "Wednesdays at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET," and a "REGISTER NOW" button, with a badge saying "Bonus: Free Cisco Umbrella socks for attending!" Below the card it says "Cisco Cloud Security - Live Demo," "umbrella.com," and "Promoted," with visible engagement counts of 17 replies, 50 reposts, and 177 likes. The humor comes from enterprise security marketing trying to make a cloud-security webinar feel irresistible by bundling conference-swag-grade socks.

I remember when you buy C programing that book in Amazon, AMZ would recommend you this kind pair of socks to you.

Distinct content based on viewer-local attitude to LGBT, perhaps.
