Marketing Industry

"It's a shame that the people who are listening to you the most are only interested in you because they want you and your peers to buy their product."

With this statement I think that it is true. It is because the marketing industry is so smart to study our every move, and our interests which makes us more interested in their product. At the same time it puts things in perspective because I did not think that that was the way they try to sell things to us. The industry is smart because they do listen to what we want in order to make money off of us, and really that is the only way to really do it. At the same time it is disloyal to all of us because we trust the marketers and the people who sell us things, and yet they are tricking us to buy their product by advertising it with things that are "cool" to us. I just don't think that it is right for the marketing to take what we want and say and use it in a way against us just to spend our money on their product. Overall, this statement is very true in the sense that marketers are making money off of us, and are succeeding.
