No, now I know to avoid this company
You're implying that you would have been a customer. Maybe they lose some current customers off such tactics but if their stuff is being reposted everywhere a lot more people are s hearing about the existence of the service who have never heard of it before, and some of those will be new customers. Obviously many will find it distasteful, but most weren't customers in the first place.
Right, and as current US politics shows us, pandering to the racists is a winning marketing strategy
