> The Meta Ray-Bans have been extremely successful for a completely new consumer device form factor.

Do you have any sources on them being a successful product by any measurable standard? I honestly wasn't aware that they were even being sold, and I'm sure I don't know anyone that owns a pair. I'm not exactly their target market, but I think at least some in my social circle are.

.... thats nothing. Id hardly call that a success when you consider Meta's resources for marketing.

Google is also finding that blasting YT with ads of Google Pixel does not work very well.

2 million hardware devices sold is not nothing, that is a pretty significant amount of hardware to ship.

When you have a 1+ billion of users to market to, practically for free, it is actually a tiny number.

To be honest the best adverstisement for the Google Pixel series is GrapheneOS :-).
