Crazy haole.. your premises, even though in your life that might work for you, is, imo, naive at best.
Facebook makes how much money from advertisers? How much money is spent on political lobbyists? Google is google because of?
Advertising.
PW, is PW, in part because of the lack of...
Advertising.
And you would suggest that all that money going down is for not? That all the classes in all the university on the science of sales, on the psychology of all this are BS.. NO no no, they have no effect on you.. Crazy haole.. so no need think they effect anyone else, eh?
Dude.. have you ever heard of peer pressure? Popular trends? You know how crowds move through time..
Having spent considerable time creating what in the day we called shareware, and now you go to the app store, and tracking very carefully the sales of software I can tell you it is by the book pushed by exposure. Exposure, on a web site, on facebook, in advertising, in the news, on YouTube, you can directly count the dollars as a function of how many people, divided by the percentage of them that might be interested in your product, become aware of it.
Advertising. Trillions and trillions of dollars spent to get people to buy things. Do you actually think that if an advertiser finds one ploy works better than another they don't employ it? Do you actually think corporations do not do everything in their power to convince you to buy their products? Have you not followed the demise of the tobacco industry? The oil industry? I mean come on. The first was found to be willing to KILL people to keep them buying their product.. and lie about it. The later has been found to be willing to KILL the planet to keep people buying their products.. and lie about t.
So yeah.. your thesis is a bit naive methinks.
