You're right that people get what they want, but there's a very big difference between an advertised trend and an actual trend. Everyone has adopted the automotive, but not as many people were into disco in the 1970's as you would think.
I'm badly saying, in other words, that the hype train makes things sound like everything is all slanted one way, when maybe an outspoken and idiotic 20-30% are into it. First realized it after those 15 Days To Flatten The Curve.
