As for success, it was introduced to me by a very successful serial technology entrepreneur, investor & advisor with at least one personal 200M exit, and multiple smaller or similar size.
I guess we will agree to disagree on the ethics. I personally don't find it any different than deceptive advertising that is used in the majority of sales channels worldwide, the many deceptive claims of products overstating the benefits, understating negatives etc.
- mroman 18y agoI see what you are saying about the widespread consumer deception, it is true, and yes - we can agree to disagree. I simply refuse to do it because others are, and believe that successful market studies can be carried out without deceptive tactics. This general attitude and outlook on my behalf actually mostly derives more from sheer pride than from any sort of assumed moral superiority - I simply can't sleep at night if I think that I applied or relied on anything other than my own merit to achieve something, and deceptive/slick tactics make me feel as though I cheated because I was unable to do it the hard way . . . that kind of thing. I will close by conceding that I may be wrong about this, however, I might also just end up identifying more user needs in a highly accurate manner with my approach, which is conducive to even greater profits.
