I read this as "vitamins vs painkiller" analogy. People forget to take their vitamins all the time, and if it's expensive vs the perceived (sometimes vague) ROI

I read this as "vitamins vs painkiller" analogy. People forget to take their vitamins all the time, and if it's expensive vs the perceived (sometimes vague) ROI, then it's going to be the first to be cut. Versus... people do NOT forget to take their painkillers and nobody is looking too hard at how much ibuprofen costs (beyond comparing costs... they're gonna buy it regardless).
- dan_quixote 3y agoLet's also keep in mind that vitamins as supplement pills are mostly useless, we all mostly know this, yet we all mostly buy them anyway. Maybe this idea is already wrapped up in your "perceived ROI" comment...
- geodel 3y agoAgree. I buy it all the time. And its mostly assuaging my psyche that "Hey, I am doing something to take care of my health."
