Unfortunately, people are idiots. It’s a great moneymaking scheme for Ryan being a shotgun sale, no chance to rationalise or really consider the value of the purchase. Just lots of disciples with itchy fingers and stocked accounts ready to splurge, just to splurge. I’d be surprised if, in the cold light of day some people don't get their tree, see it next to another and wonder where the hell their money went. But sure, it turns up in a shiny new pot, perfectly wired with a Mirai sticker on the label and they’ve got something to gloat to others at their club about... 2 or 3 years later and gee whizz. They’ve got all the gear and still no idea...huh. Oh and that perfect purchase, kinda losing it’s sheen now and certainly not worth what was paid any longer...
Call me a cynic, but I woke up grumpy.
I don't blame Ryan Neal because he’s created a brand. THE brand. He’s just capitalising on that brand and more power to him. People just like to belong. It’s the reason why so many people buy Nike trainers for stupid amounts, knowing full well they’re made in sweatshops, or buy new IPhones every release even though there is little improvement to the previous version and theirs is still working perfectly. The product is rarely worth what the badge is. That’s the key to capitalism and which goes back to, people are idiots.
