tech ppl love to say this shit and it's so revealing lmao "there's a market therefore it works" only holds if your definition of "works" is purely "i can get people to pay for it". which is incredibly soulless & cynical but also is exactly what all these ppl believehttps://twitter.com/shl/status/1220315579371773952 …

But doesn’t that prove advertising does work then? No one would buy those products if it weren’t for the highly effective ads they run. Not saying advertising those prods isn’t immoral but it clearly does work.

my issue isn't with the claim about advertising it's with the shitty ass logic used to justify it. please reread the tweet and understand what the counterexample is there for

But those are _people_ buying things and people are obviously irrational and dumb, whereas _companies_ buying things, especially in the tech industry, are invariably perfectly rational and intelligent economic agents.
