people weirdly enough really enjoy those, but marketing has gotten out of hand lately.

  Do they? I mean, even if that's how someone talks to their friends, from some faceless company's mass communication it's at best inauthentic and try-hard.

    when they were smaller it was more endearing, I agree now that it is too much. edit: and disingenuous at best

    I am really looking for a Jeeves[0] like demeanor when you have thousands of my dollars. "Yes sir, right away sir." not "Sure bro ;) *eggplant emoji*" [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeeves_and_Wooster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeeves_and_Wooster

      Except Jeeves would add "...but is sir sure that investing such a large sum in Cousin Eddie's racehorse is wise? You will recall his "sure thing" at the parish tombola." And then later when you lose your shirt, you'd find he'd not actually bet on the horse you asked for, because he'd spoken to Captain Aykroyd's man who'd explained that the fix was in, Greased Lightning had had a plate of porridge to slow him down for breakfast; he'd instead put it all on Dreadnought at 8 to 1, which had won by a length. You know come to think of it that's exactly who I want managing my finances.
