I am so bored of everything to do with echo chambers

I continued to be amazing as to how David Beckham’s brand is so strong while at the same time flogging 10’s of different products. There is nothing the man won’t sell (stella, air fryers, walkers crisps, H&M, supplements is not even the half of it) yet he simply is never seen as a sell out
