The LooksPill is omnipresent: All product marketing is about LOOKS

[disillusioned]

Lookspill isn't just about people. It's about EVERYTHING. Especially consumer culture.

Notice how when somebody markets a product, the market is almost entirely about presenting the product in an athestically pleasing manner.

Here's the ultimate example: Cars.

Almost nobody except maybe hardcore car enthusists give a single shit about how their car actually functions. It's all about apperances. About what it looks like. This is why the most expensive cars feature things like smooth curves, elborate shapes, etc. Nobody wants a glorified tractor even if the latter is 10x more useful.

It's the same with other products. Nobody would buy an Ipod or Iphone if they weren't marketed as being slick, from the future, etc. Even though there's cheaper alternatives that do literally exactly the same thing.

The lookspill is EVERYWHERE. It's not just about people.

Looks > Just literally everything.

Disagree. Normies have almost no self-awareness about this.

I work at a retail store. I see this all the time from the idiot customers. For example, we sell several different brands of bottled water. One brand has a gimmicky bottle shape that's made to resemble an iceberg/a piece of Ice. Another is just a generic plastic bottle and it costs notably less.

One would've assumed that most of customers would've have bought the cheaper bottle because it's literally just water. But no, the one with the gimmicky packaging sells WAY more. And I mean like WAY WAY more. Like, it's literally not even a contest. The idiots will literally pay a premium for fucking WATER just because of what the bottle looks like. For WATER.

Normies are extremely low IQ.

Disagree about iPhone. Ive been using iPhone 8 for 3 years (poorcel) and its still smooth as it was when i bought it new. iOS and iPhone's hardware work in perfect synergy even when it has lot of useless shit installed and its old. I cant say the same for android based phones which, same as windows pc, get slower as the time goes due to being cluttered with shit, to the point of being useless. Thats why im buying exclusively iPhones since 2010 and i use them for 5 years on average before being replaced (i only replace battery during that time). So far ive used only 2 android phones in between my iphone purchases and those were samsung and lenovo. Both became slow as fuck after less than one year of usage
