Pretty much all jewelry?

Also all fashion and luxury industries?

Take a Rolex for example. There is value in having a watch to tell time. There is value is having the watch be durable and accurate. That can be achieved for less than $100. Every watch above that price “the industry just convincing everyone they are worth a lot”. Because ooooh look at it. So pretty. And people think you’re important because of the brand name. Oooohh. Marketing.

Yeah, but people a lot of the time talk about how Rolex aren't really worth it, and almost no one other than the Uber rich actually try to get one. But it's just insane how normalized it is to buy this useless but also Uber expensive rock, and almost nobody really acts like that's weird, and everyone just kinda accepts it like it's always been like that. Like, how does basically a single Monopoly just sneak in such a major societal change, succeed, and nobody thinks twice
