Either you realize it or not. I have a very different experience in my life than perhaps you have had so we see things differently. As does everyone. But the bottom line is...x-sells and/or backend product as it is in retail...has always been a huge way to make money. And Taass, you can repeat that paying for something 3 times as much all day long...but the fact is they are only paying for a ONE DOLLAR trial. Or even a FREE one. It's their choice to keep it or not. When you bought a car...please believe me you paid 4 to 10 thousand dollars (depending on the price range of the car) in b.s. "product" that you did NOT need. If a member forgot all about a x-sell and was billed for a solid year...he still would only be out less that a fraction of what that car dealer did to you. Doesn't that make any sense to you? It's common business practice. But...having said that...if any industry can get burnt for doing what others do with no problem...it's us in adult.  |
I really can't follow your logic here..
..on one hand you are talking about car dealers assraping, playing tricks and cheat you for THOUSANDS of dollars in bullshit charges, heck you even bring your brother to make sure they don't cheat you, so it aparently pisses you off.
..now on the other hand you use those excact same car dealers for justifying crosssales, except now it's okay ????
I'll agree with you that "When you bought a car...please believe me you paid xx?$ in b.s. "product" that you did NOT need" ..sure if your a smoker you want an ashtray, if you don't smoke, you'll have payed for an ashtray that you don't need etc..
If anyway related to porn, this would compare to you joining for the main movie content, but not being interested in the photos or the bonus feeds.. But can't really see it comparing to crosssales in any way.
Crosssales imo. compares better to you buying a trailer with your new car..
Eigther because you didn't notice a trailer sale added to the contract.. or because you forgot to tell the car seller that you didn't want a trailer (depending on the type of crosssale)
