Default Not enjoying the cacaphony of the sales hack Steven R. Rochlin abusing us to make a buck



Robert said:

All this is as puzzling to me as it would be to someone hearing it for the
first time. If Mr. Rochlin's activities are not sanctioned by everyone on
the personal level, the courts have endorsed much or all of it as one of the
primary engines of Capitalism -- advertising. According to capitalists,
encouragement of consumption is vital to prosperity.


I think Jute's point was that Rochy doesn't present his plugs as adverts,
but rather as (impartialish) reviews. If he's just a shill, his role should
be made clear.

I don't trust any review anymore. My standards have become too internal for
that. Perhaps you, too?


Sad to say, squawking about shilling is a behavior evinced most often by
the Audio 'Borgs.
