They're going for the same approach they always do. You don't need word-of-mouth if you have every product placement slot.

People won't get hyped on the Vision Pro by their best friend, they'll get hyped on it by their favourite YouTuber.

After decades of hearing about Apple only being kept afloat by their indoctrinated, rabid fan base (whose numbers curiously appeared to grow exponentially with each passing year), Apple “always” making sales only by ad spots and not word of mouth is certainly a hot take.

The ad spots are how they get new customers, the product quality is how they keep existing ones.
