They are doing exactly what the advocates of free market dream of. You want to pay as little as possible, you get the crappiest stuff, you are willing to pay more to get top quality, you get good stuff.
- actionfromafar 3y agoIn many product categories there is no top stuff, just keep buying the crap stuff until you find the specimen that works. Maybe "keep repeating" is a proxy for free market goodness, I can honestly not tell anymore. :-D
- dghlsakjg 3y agoThat would be fine if there was a way to differentiate crap from not crap. Price is a signal, but an increasingly shitty one in that I can pay a high price and still receive crap. The free market is happy to sell me crap at high prices with no ability to know that until the deal is irreversible. The theoretical free market also has perfect information, and the current markets actively work to obscure that.
