All advertising does is basically trying to create the illusion that the stuff has been tested by the rich, the beautiful and successful- you are basically a late adopter.
I wonder if that gullibility could be countered by AI. The moment you click "add it to the basket" on amazon- our little dev.Ail.ment pops-up and starts quoting bad reviews or our past decisions to not buy something- or even sleeker counter manipulation.
Add block is basically the brute force version of this.
