    My guess is that it has more to do with viewership and Emmy wins. His show was frequently telling people that AT&T has terrible service. I can’t imagine AT&T would’ve let that fly if he wasn’t driving viewers and signups.

      Capitalism can commercialize anything including critiques of capitalism.

      Similarly, corporations can sell anything, including critiques of themselves.

      Reminds me of the Beatles selling “Beatles Hater” merch.
