Why do people think companies are their friends?

Advertisers are really good at macro psychology. Amazon AI probably knows more about you than you do, it your friends

>>135789785

They are your friends, OP. Trust them, they only want to give you happiness :)

>>135789785
do people think that?

Good marketing

there's a reason why companies spend billions on advertising, just think about how difficult it can be to determine the actual quality of a good or service for most people, they're naturally going to gravitate towards established brands in lieu of better information

They provide products that improve the quality of our lives. They supply jobs so we can pay bills. I wouldn't know about treating them like friends, but people should acknowledge the benefit these companies bring to consumers.

>>135790708
This is really the only answer
There's a whole division of labor dedicated to making the brand likable, and that division sometimes takes 90% of revenue.
What more is there to say?

>>135789785
because I won't buy their products if I don't like them

the real question is: why do people think companies want to harm us?

>>135791674
Monsanto

Why do people think state and cops are their friends?

>>135791711
what about it? youtube videos told you it was bad and you believed it?

Also companies don't rob me and put me in jail if I don't want to get robbed. I'm paying companies money and get lots of different goods. I'm paying taxes to government and get pain in the ass.

Part of it may be due to personal investment. They believe they are an important "shareholder". When in reality, they're just another cog in the machine.

>>135791674
They already harm you in various ways:
>pollution
>money spent on campaigns for "diversity" and "inclusivity" which harms white males
>exploitation of loopholes, often pay little to no taxes
>some receive subsidies
>little to no liabilities if the executives of a corporation massively fuck up
>those executives (often jewish) will pour money into the pockets of politicians
>monopolies
>advertisements everywhere
And you can go on and on.

To continue with your great points of why unrelegulated free markets suck:
>small businesses get crushed
>consumerism--which leads to exorbitant amounts of trash and ugliness (see Walmart)
>globalism which leads to the distruction of cultures
>corporations that grow so big they can manipulate trends and information
>other business entities that would benefit from open borders will push for amnesty legislation. We saw this with that wall commercial in the SuperBowl.

You are an idiot, stop resorting to extremes. For a nation to work smoothly laws are passed and regulations are enforced. A corporation being a different type of business entity that separates its owners from management and with the only end of making money can result in psychopathic behavior and has to be regulated more strictly. It's common sense. No one is being a commie here. Even Adam Smith expressed himself against the corporate form>>135794047

Monsanto is great for everyone, everyone should be grateful for it creating healthier or faster growing or etc food.

Only dumb luddites hate it.

OP raises and interesting point. Through genius marketing strategy the public has begun to see these companies through a lens of anthropomorphism. >>135790268 speaks the truth. Let's remember that Facebook isn't free. You're giving them something. Facebook is a public corporation whose shares are traded on the Nasdaq at $169.73 as of the closing bell today.

Nothing is free from a gallon of gas to the Grace of God.

>>135789785
Also if you don't want corporations, move to venezuela, nigger.

>>135789785
Because deep in the heart people know that they have no friends, so they try to defend and befriend company

>>135796014
No one on this thread is saying we shouldn't have corporations, nigger. Stop seeing things from a black and white perspective

>>135789785
You misspelled "government".

What I find bizarre is why the anti-capitalist left acts like huge tools for neoliberal corporations
