Comment on The notion that "old is bad and new is good" is a seriously damaging part of western capitalism brainwashing

I think it’s a normal part of human nature that you experience all the time without corpo meddling. Have they exploited that urge for new? sure, just like they exploit every human emotion.

reminds me of how general motors used to paint each new model it's own color so that you would know if someone had the new one or not.

even that small amount of social pressure for the new thing really did wonders for their bottom line.

  Totally… Apple would never make new colors on their products for that reason, noooooo. A tale as old as marketing.

    definitely I think the general motors thing happened back when the model T was a thing.
