It appears that taking advantage of human imperfections and irrationality are taking up more and more of companies' strategies and time.

You've got folks thinking constantly about advertising, pricing strategies, dark patterns, network effects that prevent or discourage churn, etc., in ways that tend to exploit flaws in the consumer's decisioning process or gaps in their knowledge, to the consumer's disadvantage.

It feels rare to see an actual new valuable product or improvement.
