> That's actually a pretty strong compliment. One could reverse it and ask, why in America and Europe people are easy swayed by lies in "a catchy headline or a pretty image", instead of demanding actual information about the product? I visited Japan once. I'll take a stab at it. In America and Europe we have plenty of space to pile up junk we don't really need. Thus we can be more careless with our consumption. I often browse Amazon and just buy random things I might need out of boredom. Sometimes those things improve my life, sometimes they just end up who knows where. And I often buy those things with nary a glance to anything other than a couple lines of user reviews.
