Canva did a cringe rap song at their conference

There's a few of you who work for Canva that read this, so I'm sorry for shitting on your employer like this, but goddamn the "two minute rap video" from Canva Create last week is one of the most cringeworthy and out of touch things I've ever seen in tech - and I've sat through keynotes from Samsung back in the early 2010s. Apparently it was on purpose according to Canva co-founder Cliff Obrecht, posting on Linkedin, who said "we decided to be ourselves, do something different and not take ourselves too seriously. Haters gonna hate (insert laugh crying emoji here)", trying to explain how they wanted to do something different than copying "Steve Jobs launching the iPhone". Yes, sure you are Cliffy, if that's what makes you sleep at night in your giant bed filled with money, keep at it bro.
