>>21669292that's true, internet has turned the "PT Barnum" strategy viable on wide scale. Used to be you had to at least pretend to do things in a reasonable way to reach folks who make more logical choices. Now you can make a successful business entirely based on looking for idiots to throw away their money - just look at amazon resellers who randomly sell things at a ridiculous price, but makes money anyway since a lot of people don't even bother checking a second price source before buying. In fact, I am willing to bet that if you do the math, catering to idiots becomes the optimal business strategy once you reach a critical idiot pool size. A whole entire book could be written on this topic.
Anyway, this is getting too off-topic. Elira is very cute and feesh still surprises me every day about how little she knows of the world.
