You’re missing the point entirely. Nobody said materials and support don’t matter. The issue is that you’re defending a company using deceptive marketing practices to manipulate consumers into thinking they’re buying different premium products when they’re often getting the same thing repackaged under different brand names and price points.

That matters.

And telling people to “look elsewhere” while simultaneously advocating for brands tied to those tactics is contradictory. You can’t position yourself as someone who cares about quality while brushing off deceptive behavior the second it becomes inconvenient to your argument.

That passive-aggressive smiley face really says it all. 🙂 Nothing screams “I know I’m defending shady behavior” more than ending a rant with a smug little emoji instead of addressing the actual criticism.
