What I was saying doesn't require everyone to work that way, only for some people to work that way. Many people use genetics, but enough people gravitate towards brands in order to maintain a ton of profits despite alternatives products that might not only be cheaper but sometimes also be better.
- phpisthebest 4y agoBut some of that is subjective... For example, I will buy Brand name Advil not because the generic is less effective, but because every generic I have found is EXTREMELY bitter to me and the Brand name is not. This is an inactive ingredient, but it makes the product worth more to me, so I buy it. In your mind I am just buying "for the brand name" when there are "perfectly good" alternatives out there, but to me the alternative are of inferior quality and or missing something I find to be important.
- saurik 4y agoNo, I am saying some people do that, and it is one way in which companies can maintain profit margins. Do you really believe brand name products really have no real brand-only advantage? Hell: the Costco store brands are so famous for being good it managed to become something of a brand itself!
