Astronomer Gwyneth Paltrow Video

On July 25th, 2025, Astronomer uploaded a video to its YouTube channel titled "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer," which featured actress Gwyneth Paltrow discussing the newfound interest in the company following the scandal, but avoided mentioning it as if the interest was solely in the company itself. The video gathered over 530,000 views, 6,100 likes and 610 comments in three days.

For instance, on July 17th, 2025, it was posted to the /r/WatchPeopleDieInside[6] subreddit, garnering over 84,000 upvotes in around eight hours.
