All your stereotypes will be used against you.

    If you do not go into precise definitions, you can say that a stereotype is a statement that a person at a certain moment sincerely considers correct, possibly based on previous experience, or on previous conclusions, but not analyzing it at the time of use.

    And everyone knows that in life we ​​are often guided by stereotypes, marketers and other malefactors are especially aware of this ...


    This was earlier, when Adam Smith naively convinced everyone of the prospects and power of communism of capitalism and a market economy, marketing was a means of market research with the goal of most effectively satisfying his needs.
    Now (I think it's obvious) marketing is also used to find out what the market canpalm off with complete disregard for the interests of the consumer.
    And in this they are very helpful knowledge of our stereotypes.
    Are you a believer? We will stick quotes from the Bible on the packaging of our goods and sales will certainly grow. (in our store such sugar is sold, not at all sweet, at the same price as sweet sugar, but without quotes. And the price is the same, but “religious” sugar is taken no worse than “secular”)
    For you, the words “ German quality"? No problem, we will do a bunch of brands that are supposed to be European, but in reality everything will be done in China (Bork, Philips)
    Are you attracted to the combination of red and white? Hold 20 companies that have ALL red and white (MTS, Life :), U'Tel, AsTel, Agrobank, Nadra Bank (but this one has changed colors), Deltabank, HomeCredit Bank, Foxtrot, etc. ..)

    No further examples sense, it’s already clear. We pass to the main part. The modern web makes it easy to recognize the stereotypes of individuals and aggregate them into the stereotypes of social groups, which facilitates the actions of dishonest marketers.
    Therefore, I think about the fact that you should not dump your entire subconscious mind inside out on the Internet, allowing you to arbitrarily manipulate yourself later. And this should not be the principle of a single person, but the “doctrine of society”. Our preferences and tastes should remain undisclosed to outsiders.
