@eo2875 Always has been.
But marketers are humans too. There is a whole field of psychology dedicated to develop still legal ways to trick humans into buying stuff they actually don't need. It is all about communication - which is absurdly hard to regulate (just see the discussion around "fake news"). -
Somehow straight lying to customers doesn't seem like "always has been". It's definitely breaking some sort of consumer protection laws.

The bygone clowns have started their new project. I look at the FAQ page. It's literally lies, because I know what they've done so far.
"We've had thousands of clients!" no they haven't, lie.
"We estimate approximately % of customers..." they don't have enough data to support that, lie.
Since when did marketing become lying?
God I hate this planet.
