The Solana team had to delete its “America is Back – Time to Accelerate” ad after receiving serious criticism from the crypto community.
The ad showed a man, representing America, in a therapy session, who explained that he was having thoughts about innovation. In response, the therapist says that he should do something more productive like coming up with a new gender.
The ad received over 1.4 million views a few hours after going live. It offended a portion of the people based on their gender identity.
The Solana Foundation team deleted the ad, but it was saved and reposted by several people.
