As someone who had epilepsy as a kid (though a different kind, but still), I do agree that this needs to be called out. Stuff like this is very dangerous.

How do we know the ad wouldn’t have a strobe warning upon airing? They’re inferring that from a teaser?

I don’t understand how she is still doing this. Everything she’s putting out now has insane flashes. It’s getting tiresome at this point.

Agreed. Also, from a friend in the industry: I think they put these things through special filters that gauge risk and (maybe???) adjust accordingly automatically.

Surely there's strict regulations about this kind of stuff on TV? Just because a twitter post doesn't show a warning doesn't mean the actual ad won't.

It's so unnecessary, looks like sh*t

I wish that strobe lights would go out of fashion

I mean they are a great artistic choice at times, it's just that they are literally dangerous to like 1% of the population.

Shouldn't the teaser also have a warning though?
