    Pretty much every industry works by tricking people into liking things.

    Like the razors with four+ blades on them, people buy them cause the commercials say “more blades is better”.

    People wouldn’t seek out extra blades if they weren’t tricked into liking it. They are objectively worse than single blade razors.

      Exactly. If it didn’t pay off these companies wouldn’t keep shoveling money to Facebook and Google to show their ads time and time again. Marketing is expensive. If it didn’t at least break even then nobody would be doing it anymore by now. Obviously it works, otherwise I wouldn’t ever know what the fuck a squarespace or a goddamn raid shadow legends is.
