Emotional manipulation works on women and low-t males. What they say isn't for you, you're not the consumer, your interests are niche. Women and low t men are who they advertise to, who they try to manipulate. Those are the demographics more likely to spend money and be good consumers. You rather fix shit than throw it out, only replacing things when they no longer work. Women and faggots know nothing about tech or cars, they are more likely to buy a new one that try to fix it. Or pay someone to fix it. Then buy a new one after the person they paid to fix it rips them off.
