| > Ultimate driver? How does that work? By a 1000$ being 1000$ to many people regardless of how the person offering it came by it, money destroys information that way. Because many decisions are excused as making "business sense", as opposed to making sense. > Offer a dud product or service and see how that goes down! Usually, a dud is something that's not successful, not something that sucks. Because financial success determines the quality of something for many. If people want to drink Coca-Cola because they made a judgement to be influenced by short erotic films, then that's that, and Coca-Cola is objectively the best subjective choice for most people. > The incentive then becomes that of giving up or meeting the customer's needs. Yeah, because if you don't like Apple, you can use Microsoft, and that keeps both of them just so in line. Because we don't constantly jump through new hoops designed to game our attention and empty our wallets just a bit more by all sorts of companies. Computing, gaming, entertainment, it's all working out really well and just keeps getting better. Remember how YouTube made it easier to find and filter the content of channels you subscribed to, how they just flat out stopped fucking around with video makers and their viewers? Remember how Facebook stopped second-guessing what their users want to see because of that whole backlash about manipulating them? That emperor is rocking some mighty fine threads, pity the fools that can't see them. |
