They could have just spent the money on youtube ads, reached 10x 
as many people and targeted people who actually might be 
interested in it.

Tbh the presentation seemed lacking in substance to me. "The 
truth about D" was not an accurate name for the talk and there 
was no real explanation of how IVY would help D. Thats actually 
what people wanted to know, how is IVY going to help D.

I think most people are still non the wiser on that point.
