RadioShack’s NSFW Twitter account, explained
Clearly, this isn’t your father’s RadioShack. The zombie retailer’s Twitter account contains a stream of explicit comments, vulgarities and a bunch of drug references. Many companies have edgy social media presences, but not like this. So what’s going on? RadioShack is trying to sell you cryptocurrency – with an attitude. RadioShack was
purchased in 2020 by Retail Ecommerce Ventures, which buys bankrupt companies, including
Pier 1 Imports, Modell’s Sporting Goods and SteinMart, hoping to bring the brands back to life in some form.
With RadioShack, the company has pivoted the century-old brand into the blockchain, because obviously. The “new” RadioShack has its own crypto called Radio Shack Swap and uses the token called $RADIO,
which is basically worthless.
I had no idea. I'll bet
