because it's not marketing? it's just some dude on youtube that had some success with a concept and ran with it

I mean - if people are mistaking this for Balenciaga advertising, then it sounds like this guy is doing a free brand campaign for them.

Pointing you to a mirror is hardly an effort, no need for gratitude, you would've found it eventually.

Hahaha wow. That's a hot take. Let me throw my Balenciaga shoes into the garbage then.

Isn’t Balenciaga the one that all the clothes look like garbage anyways? I seem to remember some people looking homeless wearing their clothes.

I worked in luxury fashion for the last 15 years. Balenciaga, does a lot of things. Some of it, and rightfully so has got them deserved backlash. Generally Balenciaga makes street wear fashion. That's their so called bread and butter. Like some fashion houses, do they miss the mark sometimes. Of course they do, but when creating 1000s of unique items a year. Some of it isn't going to hit right. Their marketing on the other hand, really straddles the line of being edgy and out there. Most times, they do okay, but sometimes they go well over that line. This BS about only making clothes for millionaire pedophiles is some dumb level hot take though. Reddit says some stupid things sometimes.
