I like how they are called glassholes. It sounds like another word I like.
Next life goal: get internship at Meta and “accidentally” remove word boundary checking in the profanity filter, so that if you type glasshole in a Facebook post, it will come out as gl***hole.
Someone forgot to do their focus group testing, or, even better, forgot to use their common sense.
Pretty sure the author is using it as a disparaging term for the jackoffs that were wearing the headsets for attention.
