    It’s the smartest thing ever people should read about marketing tactics and schemes to get people to pay more money. The smallest thing can be locked behind a $5 increase and people are still going to buy it. It’s all about knowing your audience.

      I strongly agree with this. In fact, just seek out a college level textbook. Here’s a free one. Its like having a secret decoder ring to a huge chunk of society you interact with daily. You’ll be able to quickly identify an advertising pitch, and identify why its appealing to you and if it is deceptive. You’ll also see the gaps as in “okay product A exists and product C exist, so product B probably does too. Now why am I not seeing that one?”. It also lets you see that you are sorted into a specific bucket because of your age, race, level of education, income, and geography. There are huge parts of marketing that you don’t see because those are for other market segments which you aren’t in.

      Its like have a cheat code to society.
