One of the things I hate the most is how the large difference between the marketing of a product versus the real product. To simply put it, the more resources a company puts into its marketing campaign, the less resources it puts into maintaining the product. For example, a company can make a great game and let it market itself, or it can also create a crappy product and advertise it ad nauseum.
In the real world, usually it isn’t really the best products that win the market. Its often the best marketed. We’ve come to a point in time where marketing fluff has now more weight than actual value.
If we want to break free of this marketing cycle, we must do all of our best to share our genuine experiences with a product. If we like a product, we must spread the word and let the whole world know. If it doesn’t live up to the hype that it promises, then it deserves to die a slow death on the open market.
