I would theorize what you're observing is incompetent push is indistinguishable from incompetent pull, at least WRT resulting annoyance level. Also a lot of markets are a confuse-opoly. Go ahead, help me out and find the technically best tire for peak all season performance (not worried about longest lasting tread, not worried about cost, not worried about mileage, just best all weather performance on a skidpad). Doesn't matter what car I have or what you search for. The market is dead, pure confuse-opoly, may as well give up and use astrology. I'm a Pisces if that helps more than knowing what model car I have. Likewise look at pre-smartphone cell phone market. You can not have ads worth anything if the underlying market is pure nonsense BS, so vast segments of the economy will have to be categorically excluded, and they have advertising money to spend... Some of the biggest marketing budgets are in the least healthy markets...
