Heck, it’s not just consumer health & beauty! Why do scam diets sell?
• Sense that problem is important
• Sense of powerlessness
• Experience w/frustration, failure, backsliding, breakdown
• Peer pressure
• Desperation for a simple answer
All of that is a recipe for manufactured insecurity + hoax cures. And there’s a whole ••enterprise software industry•• that markets its services using exactly this strategy. Like diet pills for businesses.
