>has been almost completely subsumed by marketeers and business hacks Welcome to the least common denominator. These business practices serve the masses and raise shareholder value. If we as a society want to change, we should begin to question monetary inflation which openly encourages "shiny and new" investing and "better invest in anything before inflation destroys my life savings". This brand of economics actively pushes people to buy the "brand new" item and invest in the "brand new" startup with no concern for stability or reliability because the hype will raise stockholder value at least in the short term. This mentality is seeping into every aspect of our society. Without constant updates or new and shiny objects coming out, stock prices plummet. Our entire economy is built on a rotten foundation (unsound monetary policy) which is manipulated to enforce "buy now, ask questions later" economics.
