They have always been a sales pitch.
All announcements or introductions or demos or anything involving new products, from any company, is a sales pitch. Apple’s change from live to pre recorded events doesn’t change the fact that they are a sales pitch.
Today in stupid headlines:

Henry Rollins on the song Bottom by Tool
If I let you, you would make me destroy myself
In order to survive you, I must first survive myself
I can sink no further, and I cannot forgive you

I’m naked and fearless and my fear is naked
