I literally debated someone yesterday over whether or not it's the consumers willingness to buy that created the demand for a product.

Dude straight up tried to argue that it's the company's fault for making a product, as if they wouldn't do it specifically because they're going to make money on it.

This website is full of kids who can't grasp basic economic principles. If everyone stopped buying, all these businesses would go under. They don't care about the social media bitching, the only way to get the message across is the only thing they care about.

Stop giving them your money.

The problem with that reasoning is that capitalists have a means of generating demand artificially.
