I feel 20 or so years ago kids that spent money on something that didn't provide a clear benefit would have been bullied. My wife was a gamer, when my son first asked for a gift card to buy a skin it was fun watching him try to explain that there is no benefit and it only changes the look. My wife kept asking him why do you want this?
My 13yr old son has spent $100s on fortnite, I told him he's going to regret that when he wishes he saved for a car, or something that will matter in 6months.
I definitely blew my fair share on video games, but I also believe this is a generational shift. I do not believe charging $$ for "cosmetics" would have been as successful in "my day". But what does it mean?
I've not done a whole lot of research but Tesla has it figured it out, compare a Tesla in power and range with the BMW i8. Maybe Porsche can make a better showing than their German counterpart.
Well this instance spooked me because I hadn't done any kind of lookup for anything "gun" related. While anything I search for is usually what shows up in my feeds. I'm usually not a "tin-hatter" and seems far-fetched, but it spooked me.
My wife and I were watching John Wick and got to talking about owning a handgun. The next morning my facebook feed was showing me marketplace listings for holsters.
I prefer Netflix, unless I need to see a HowTo or a product review. My 6yr old daughter prefers anything on Youtube over Netflix. We also had cable which she wouldn't hardly watch at all so we returned her cable box.
