The comment seems overly dismissive. I believe parent raises a valid point.If we accept that we are consumers and capitalism theoretically expects that one is an informed consumer, it is primarily up to us to determine future shape of the landscape. Naturally, what follows seems to be:
-we are not informed consumers
-informed consumers are a minority
-uninformed consumers are a boon to capitalism
To you specific point, is it ivory tower to know what you want and make decisions that benefit you specifically and not partake in Zeitgeist just because everyone else is?
