Most people don't want these bullshit consumer funfairs though. It's just that the people with the money are somehow convinced to want them and that's why we get them.
- lmm 9y agoI think that's the opposite of true. I think most of these consumer things succeed because people actually enjoy them, but articles like this pretend to hate anything popular/mainstream because that's the socially respectable thing to do.
- thrav 9y agoYep. Because they’re ok-awesome in small doses, and that’s all anyone traveling will ever taste.
- kiliantics 9y agoI grew up in an area that catered to tourists and there was so much public spending put towards attractions for tourists that had no utility for locals while many useful services were neglected. I think this is a large part of the argument behind the article - that locals are losing out because the rich travelers need to be catered to - and I think it's a pretty legitimate one.
