>>512264176 (OP)this reminds me of 'gymshark' i assumed everyone was like me and therefore it would fail. i remember when gymshark bombarded all fitness content with their ads and promotions and assumed everyone would go 'well im not that easily influenced, ill never engage with your products. im not a sheep'
but, ofc, the opposite happened.. people are very easily influenced and love capitulate to these influences constantly..
i assumed people would see the avalanche of temu ads and basically be offended that a company would see them as being so readily available as a consumer, and therefore resist whatever mimimal urge there might of been to engage in cheap chinese plastic garbage items.
but i was wrong again..
the only safe play.. and quite obviously the most lucrative one is to realize early on in life that people are quite available to manipulation regardless of how obvious the form it comes in.
people want to be consumers. they want to be lied to. they want to live in a false reality of materialism and vanity.. even if they are poor they won't mind any of it as long as they can craft the perception of material excess and degradation.
having ANY amount of faith in humanity is guaranteed to let you down... marketing is just one of the endless examples, though the most obvious. the fact i share a genetic lineage with these people disgusts and disappoints me on a daily basis
so many of you are little more than bugs.
