    this has always felt like such a tremendous cope by the advertising industry, i’m not gonna fucking pay for a thing because i heard about it negatively, i’m going to actively avoid it because i’ve heard this precisely thing being repeated since i was a toddler and i want the higher ups to have to wipe their ass with a one-dollar bill instead of a 20-dollar bill.
