The video is a humorous presentation that explores the concept of "business is serious business." It begins by introducing itself as a sponsored video by "Raid Legends" and proceeds to delve into various stories about businesses that have attempted to engage their audiences on social media, only to have their efforts backfire.
The first story involves a conference in Nashville, Tennessee where an interactive display board was used to display tweets with a specific hashtag. However, an attendee misused the hashtag, leading to a series of unprofessional posts that overwhelmed the conference's Twitter feed. The organizers of the conference attempted to counter the negative posts, but they were unsuccessful and eventually had to disable the hashtag.
The second story revolves around McDonald's, which attempted to improve brand perception by asking the public to share their experiences on Twitter. However, the public responded negatively, leading McDonald's to pull the campaign and shut down the Twitter account.
The third story is about a company called Jurek's, which launched a revolutionary app called "SOS condoms" that allowed users to order condoms and have them delivered within an hour. However, the service was shut down in Dubai after just one week due to the government citing it as a promotion of promiscuity.
The video concludes with a look at the "spider crab with laser eyes" meme, which has become a symbol of Twitter's quality control, effectively shutting down lesser brands.
Throughout the presentation, the narrator keeps the audience engaged with humor, making light of the companies' missteps and the unintended consequences of their actions.
