@CrazyMusicLover That is 100% true. xD
And it makes me so, sooo pessimistic to my fans sometimes.

Greed is all that matters in America. I suspect it is all that ever has but it's totally shameless now.

No one but the government makes you buy something. It takes discipline but simplify, simplify, simplify.
This is true from an online marketing perspective it’s all focused on triggering a reaction. You’re waking up 👍 free yourself from the matrix.

And with each product and advertisement we just compound their power over people. Everyone wants that rush, that dopamine hit, the notification bubble or ding. The world seems to be living progressively emptier lives so naturally they want to fill them, and what better to help them the top of the line tv, those comfy stylish new clothes, walk to the beat of your own unique life with the new Bose wireless Bluetooth earbuds that anyone who is anyone will be selling a kidney to afford this coming summer

This is true. If they would concentrate on the integrity of the product more the consumers would be their best advertisement.

Welcome to the machine... The object of the game is to spend more than you earn... It keeps you in thrall

You're right on the money. But advertising has existed from the moment media started communicating with the masses. Where it's changed is how it plays out online. It's become more insidious. But I'm not sure it's as much about integrity as it is about competing. And advertising is a very different animal than the product they're pimping. At the end of the day it's on the consumer.

Capitalism sucks, and not in a good way.

Yup. Low level products across the board and then they jack up prices to line their own pockets and are penny pinching when it comes to giving their employees a decent wage with good benefits

Luckily, we can still show them what we want with the power of the purse, for now. Some industries like tech are basically gone, but there is hope in others like food.

True, like the red sale signs ,,, you don’t need it and shop is still making a profit

To be fair I use red and yellow in things for that same exact reason.
Yes, I've been aware for a long time.

Yeah, we don't have much control, but we can choose what we buy and spend time on
