I want to add my interpretation of the phrasing "rewrite people's awareness" to make it read less tinfoil-hatted:

Not from principle. Marketing is hateful work and almost necessarily anti-art, so I don't care. Of course you can do it badly (for example, unironically advertise to an artist audience with terrible slop illustrations).

I can believe the company does their best to keep the records private.
