The worst part is the more you know it the more unbelievable it becomes to you and you start to think to yourself "yeah right nobody would believe that."

Then you do a split test and bullshit like this (fake scarcity, benefits not features, forced optins, etc) show a conversion rate of 8% whereas your honest to goodness page is at 0.5% you understand that it's not your customers who are ignorant, it's you and your understanding of how the world works :/
