Fuck marketing.
Advertising was a necessary evil in an age where information had meaningful logistical costs. Businesses needed to get their products out there so people would know they exist. But now, we have the Internet and an abundance of free information. There is no need for the old system. Products and services can be dispassionately, scientifically compared; the clear winners would dominate the market and innovation would be driven by the sheer clarity of the situation. Instead, it's the same old. Whoever pushes the most gutless marketing out there and does the best social engineering gets the customers, regardless of product quality. And people are either too busy or too ignorant to cut through this. The public discourse has been poisoned.
Fucking everything is bullshit lifestyle social marketing. God fucking damn people who get validation through consumerism. You can't take it with you, and you're burying humanity, its nobility, and planet fucking earth under fucking meaningless trash.
