>"Most marketing around you is perfectly ethical with no desire to trick you into buying things you don't want" Disagree. Banks, housing, car leases, cell phone service, Comcast, etc are all doing this kind of stuff or worse (just charging you fees that you "agreed" to in some 20-page ToS somewhere). Repeat after me: "The purpose of a corporation is to increase shareholder value." If it can be done ~legally with the gains outweighing the bad PR / marketing effort regression, it will most likely be done. "That just makes business sense!". You are not legally required to be a good guy, and good luck getting rich not being the tiniest bit evil.
