Everything Nothing states about sustainability is now worthless. The barely two year old Nothing Phone (1) is no longer serviced by the official Nothing service center.
Nothing is slowly becoming the fast fashion of electronic devices by releasing various smartphones, watches and earbuds every year, while dropping support for older ones after a short time.
Thank you Nitin on our group chat for informing us about this.

creators were not able to disclose the advertisement in the tweets. twitter user vedant g got a call from the agency, that nothing wanted it to be removed for it to sound organically
this is pathetic and very dishonest advertising.

besides that, a different creator was told to compare it against specific soc's to target specific competitors
the agency also called them at night to remove the "#ad" in the tweet since the client -- Nothing, "was very angry at the use of the hashtag"
now, i would like to quote carl pei's wise words of "Attacking others doesn't get us closer."

admit fault, take the blame βππ
delete all evidence β β β β β
note that nothing and the agency apologized to the influencers, when the viewers should've gotten an explanation instead as the promotional campaign was like that on purpose

let's recap:
- nothing & agency decided to make a promotional campaign saying that the cmf phone 1 has the most powerful chip in the price range (false)
- the tweets were meant to target specific chips that competitors used
- influencers were paid to promote the product, and were able to use #ad if they wanted to (false) but were paid less in return
- nothing was angry at the people that added #ad and made them repost without the disclaimer
- people exposed the dishonest campaign
- a day later, the negative posts disappeared magically with nothing apologizing to the creators with assurance that such thing won't happen again
shady tactics, lies, deceipt and misinformation, all swept under the rug. is this really a good company to support?

The Nothing Phone (1)'s camera aged like milk. https://x.com/geekedout__/status/1788909453007601836
The battery seems to be terrible as well, despite the midrange SoC

CMF/Nothing's student referral program is not secure, and you can find user data of the referee through its API, including:
- first/last name,
- phone number,
- email,
- address and area
CMF's referral program allows you to make a code, which you can share to earn points. At the end of the program, the top 50 on the leaderboard will win CMF by Nothing products.
Besides the obvious security issue, referral programs have a problem, since people sharing links may not want you to purchase the best product, as they're incentivized with receiving products themselves.
Update: Nothing has silently taken the website down, but just like with their agency shenanigans, it's likely that we won't get any apologies or clarification, and the company will wait until this whole thing dies down.

reality is sometimes harsh, but someone has to say it. the nothing team can handle criticism much better but they choose to ignore it, putting them in an echo chamber
