They exist. People buying 270 dollar pairs of shorts and 300 dollar sunglasses yet can’t afford lunch the last 3 days of the pay period. The ads are peanuts when you are selling 15 dollar products for 5,000% markups, you only need 1 sucker for a few hundred thousand ads to pay for itself.

Some people just don’t understand how it works and love being part of the imaginary clubs these products suggest you are a part of if you buy into it.
