Funny how this is supposed to be absurd - upside down duck, cake, “bizarro” and all - but it’s actually pretty accurate. So many products out there that require you to download their shitty spyware in order to do the things they are supposed to do.
If you buy garbage products you get garbage products. That's on you.
Yep. Until you can't find non-garbage products anymore because 95% of everyone else is dumb enough to fall for it.
I think there's a reasonable case to be made against buyer beware here, we need to ban this shit.
I was just making this point with a laissez faire capitalism coworker. Bro just cannot understand the invisible hand is very often wrong.
That's funny to hear. I'd actually say this kind of thing that happens with electronics is unusual, and people do know what's in their own best interest the vast majority of the time. Dunno if that puts me in the picture or not.
Is that true if the vast majority of people are either uninformed or apathetic?
Magical boxes aside, people understand and pay attention to things that are of direct personal interest to them. Transit schedules, typical prices of things in their area and so on. Which garbage bins to check if you're really poor, how to avoid taxes if you're really rich.
So, I guess it wouldn't be, but people actually aren't stupid or apathetic (about their own life) in general.
