It’s all to perpetuate a cycle of abuse.

I’ve noticed that it has nothing to do with the absolute amounts of currency being exchanged by either party. It’s all about seeing how low peoples standards are, and then trying to nudge them just a bit 🤏 lower.

This has been going on for generations. Every time a generation lowers its standards, a new normal is achieved and businesses immediately try lowering standards further.

Advertising should be straight up illegal, but we’ve been conditioned since birth to accept it as normal. Youtubers aren’t just rewarded with money for putting extra ads in their videos, they’re rewarded for contributing to a new normal and lowering our standards.

This is why there are no good deals anywhere.
