Could you imagine how much money could be made if a company showed up and put out a video like "Your stuff keeps falling apart, food is pricier yet crappier, everything is a subscription, companies trick you in to paying anyway, and they think you're too stupid to notice. Us, here at [brand]... we just make good things you'll want to buy from us. No tricks.", and then actually stuck to it?
@hellomiakoda I've fantasized about something like this SO much. In my head, it always ends up becoming some kind of certification that any company can put on their product if they can prove it's durable/repairable/ethical/whatever. I want something like that to be real!
@hellomiakoda "We keep a bomb under the CEO's desk which is programmed to explode if they accept VC funding or try to take the company public"

One of the co-founders of Costco threatened to kill the CEO if he raised the price of the $1.50 soda and hot dog combo. That has pretty similar vibes.
@jargoggles @zmz I'm in the mood for a hot dog
