What if the movie sucked but the person didn't know it beforehand?

Why not? I can think of several ways. You could make them miserable first by advertising, them sell your product as a remedy. Or sell a positional good and let your customers have bidding wars, even though the total sum of misery remains unchanged. Or sell a good with large negative externalities.

- klbarry 15y agoCan you give some generic example of the deception that you do? Obviously mention no brands and change the products, but I'm curious to know what you consider deception.
