Great video!
You asked a question with it, so I'll give you my two cents:
You didn't ask the question this way, but this is the way I see it: "Why do Consumers Simp for Corporations?"
I would like to offer my thesis:
How old are you? If you were to compare yourself to ten years past, would you see the same person you are now? Do you think you will be the same person ten years from now? The answer is most likely, no. And that is because we are all in different stages of metal development. Marketing a product must then be targeted specifically to different age brackets. Hence, we have the young consumer, the mature consumer, and the nostalgia consumer who all play a pivotal role in a credit based economy that is lubricated by debt. It's important to understand that humans are tribal by nature, and corporations research our behavior to better relate their products with what consumers perceive as happiness, entertainment, and pleasure. Though all these things combine don't equate brand loyalty, our life choices do. When consumer choose a brand, they are not buying a product because that is not how it is being marketed towards them. They are being loyal to their life choices; however stupid they should be. No one likes being told they are wrong, or be-made-fun-of because of their life decisions. Add to this the newly "empowered" stock market gamblers who have received small gains in a rigged system that is only alive because the government has become the co-signer long enough for the wealthy to remove their money and leave the suckers to deal with the loses. To all these regular-Joe-investors who get pleasure of seeing a number rise and translate that to a wise financial decision--a life decision, I say it is harder not to simp for a corporation today then its ever been.
I have more, but I'll leave it at my thesis and save you from the rest of my essay.
I hope the wall of text was not too much for you.
