Comment on My ex wants me back
squid_slime@lemmy.world 9 months agoWe buy shoes that last a few months. Cost penny’s to make through sweat shops, for extortionate prices. Years old tech/iot that does little to actually improve our lives and end up as e-waste. Food that is killing us. Look at the next big film/game and look at the amount of money goes into marketing, and sadly most of those films/games turn out to be shit. Cars that lie about they’re emissions.
Yet all these things are bought up due to marketing.
So while I know this won’t die anytime soon, I am glad to be apart of the small percentage that see it as is.

You might be, I’ve had my shoes for years now.
If you’re buying shitty shoes, that’s on you and you’re a part of the very problem you’re complaining about.
If you’re talking about we as in the people, do you think that somehow magically cutting marketing would get rid of shitty products? That’s not how it works, maybe garbage like Supreme wouldn’t exist but that’s just a tiny piece of the pie

I was speaking in hyperbole.
3 years myself, I wear leather re-solable boots, but most people in my life like branded tac, they like the adverts as it shows them things they’d like to buy. Marketing allows products to be shit.
