Those findings are crazy. I’ve never been social media addicted, been into luxury or general show-off brands (I pay extra to not look like I’m an advertisement… for anything but metal bands), so I don’t really know much about those issues.

    Yeah gotta say this is beyond obvious. My stats prof would be winding up with chalk.

    If some guy came up trying to sell me an expensive marine device for boats, I’d keep walking. I’m sure it’s a legit, valuable product, but I don’t have a boat. Nor care to own one. To me, that item has zero worth.

    Same applies if Adobe offered me their suite. I don’t use their stuff. Zero interest in it.

    To me, this is behind obvious. What good is a site if I don’t care for the service? Moreover, social media is invasive, so no wonder it makes sense that those not interested would find more value were it gone. That annoying song they played incessantly on the radio? Isn’t your life better after it fizzles out? What’s the groundbreaking finding?

      The groundbreaking finding is that it is in fact not ok go blame the victim. /s

      It is obvious for those without ingrained ableism (who therefore dont blame people for being unable to fight against companies that employ psychologists)
