So, it's the second pair of speedos that ups the protection? Is one pair that much better than two pair when hitting the water at 50 MPH?
Or maybe everything about marketing/advertising will always lean towards catering to extroverts/neurotypical people.
(Also unrelated, I wonder if there is a link between less anxiety and getting into an "instinctual" state. Like how he does juggling before a dive)
Also, I did a little 10m which is just a taste of this.
No. It's a liability. Brands are about focusing on niche markets with common interests.

No. It's about being able to sell to them and promote to them. Being able to promote what you're selling is a prerequisite to being able to sell it.
A fair assessment.

I'm not sure what your "no" is disagreeing with here. Is it that marketing will not have a lean because they will always choose to market toward their audience?
I would disagree with that. Marketing/advertisers think in generalizations. The formal processes of audience description and creating example personas are fully based on those generalizations. These methods are extremely helpful, I've done them before myself, and they produce useful methodology and next steps.
But these generalizations are built on popular culture, which is dictated by societal normalcy, past media (generational upbringing), etc. Those generalizations always contain normalcy/socially acceptable leanings, which means marketing as structured currently would need to go out of its way to combat this leaning. Which they don't, no one cares, the workers complete the work, get paid, and go home.
Rules are rules. Mark it zero.

That is, we specifically don't use the original title when it is misleading or linkbait, as the original title in this case was.
When we do edit a title, we try to use representative language from the article itself wherever possible—e.g. a subtitle, a phrase from the text, or something else where the article says neutrally what it is actually about. That's what I did in this case; the language came from the subheading.
Anecdote of 1 of course... but I'd also guess that I'm not an outlier, and Messi is much better known than your two suggestions in pretty much any country.
As for the climbers, Honnold achieved some normie fame as the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary[1]. Steck was also among the best climbers ever, but his speed records centered on the Alps (hence my joking aside about the Euro audience).
