Meta cheats.

They're the king of dark patterns that bully ppl into at least signing up for services they don't actually want to use.

I'd argue all top down states are "prerogative"... and "normative" is merely a temporary alignment of expectations and exercised power

Yes, but, that goes away when the "thing" is meant to mimic/replace/replicate a human... that's why "uncanny valley" is just a gut-level unsettling feeling. The lack of emotional nuance.

...are you implying that digital money is worth more than digital?

because I doubt anyone who spends cash regularly is holding much of it long enough to lose value to the digital ones in their checking account.

Actually, yeah. It's better than the customer spending that $20 elsewhere.

And there's potential for upsell in-store and on the website.

If people are defecting to wired from EarPods, it makes sense to try and position themselves in thought next to wired ones as will
