   Marketing, the great value siphon. Marketing adds NOTHING of value of the world.

      Product discoverability has some value, but marketing is largely a zero sum game.

         Marketing is the art of fucking with discoverability so that your shit gets discovered instead of what is relevant.

            You are familiar with Nike and Adidas. I want to start a shoe brand that makes shoes that would coincidentally be perfectly suited for your needs (whatever sport, activity, etc you enjoy). How do I get you to notice them?

               You make it relevant instead of merely making it present.
