Just because you’ve adapted to the lies doesn’t make them ok, nor the best version of what is possible

Negative hype can kill a product that could have been good.

Positive false hype can deceive people into wasting money.

Sure, complete honesty would be ideal, but if you say “well it sucks right now but we promise it will be ok when you buy it”, not many people would rush to order one.

And they shouldn’t. It’s just another way of saying “people acting rationally based on truthful information”

Many good products never made it to market because of insufficiently good perception.

That should be a separate issue. It’s not the only available path, just one often taken because it’s the most forgiving of shoddy business practices, doesn’t justify its existence, either.

On the flip side, creating positive hype out of smoke and mirrors can be used to kill a competitor’s product for no good reason, so it’s not quite ok either.

I think people are starting to realize the depth of corporate deception and bad-faith practices and how that affects everyone at large, and so they’re rightly tired of them and trying to reset it all back to simple, effective, and fair ethical standards.

This is also true. More similar doesn’t mean very similar, though (saying this for op)

What doesn’t, everything is different. The people/culture, nature scenery, weather, things to do, typical architecture style, politics, et cetera.

Yeah, without a disclaimer and evidence it’s modeled correctly it’s just straight misinformation at this point.

I hope they get pulled from the road. Problem is, he’ll just bribe some government officials

it used to be less; I think it was like 90 bucks to go from Georgia to Arizona at one point

edit: you also don’t have to pay for checked bags, when you’re broke, you’re used to accepting a lot more inconvenience to save 50 bucks or more. source: have lived the life

Downvotes. Fuck me, well, I guess it didn’t happen, then.
