Manipulation, indoctrination and addiction

Seth Godin

They’re often related. It’s not unusual for someone to have more experience or knowledge than we do. If they use that knowledge to their benefit, not ours, they might be manipulating us.

Seth Godin

It’s easy to get focused on the public-facing mouth of the funnel. More followers. More impressions. More buzz, hype, promotion. Get the word out. Just about all the time people who call themselves “marketers” spend is on this. Don’t worry about what happens later, just pour more attention into the top. But the math is simple: Most of the people at the top leave long before they engage, buy or spread the word.
