My favourite of these comany names is still BOIFUN who obviously sell DVD players, baby monitors and door bells.

I always love the nonsensical order of letters that these companies use.

CTIRCHIU is definitely the most premium brand judging by that price, truly a name you can trust
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m pretty sure CTIRCHIU is a Lovecraftian monster.

Hoement sounds like a word, at least. A… Hoe moment?
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I don’t care what the Hoe meant, she’s still a hoe.

I was thinking it was a movement for sex worker rights, or something

What you mean? HAFSBEVCZ is a totally established, reputable brand.

There’s a reason for them! I can’t find the original video I saw about it, but this one explains it pretty well:

I also like how sarcastic this person sounds (at least to me) during their sponsor segment.

That seems very likely. I guess my YouTube search skills aren’t what I thought they were. Thank you.

My favourite one so far is “Hoement”

It’s because of the US patent and trademark office. Not many people are competing with those who slam their heads on the keyboard for their brand names.

I read that it’s to avoid internal competition.
A Chinese company manufactures a product (or parts of it) for a Western brand with high quality control standards.
Half the production output meets the standard and is sold under the Western brand name for a higher price.
The other half is sold much cheaper, with a brand name that sounds unappealing to Western customers but can still be sold to Asian markets or people who don’t care and only look at the price.
So the name sounds bad on purpose to steer buyers who care about that towards the more expensive brand with a higher profit margin.

Amazon does not require a brand but having a brand allows the seller better access into amazing seller’s tools.
Amazing incentivizes this shit and does not give a fuck about it. They could be easily detecting this using LLMs but they don’t because they only care so it profits.
