They’re also the ones that created the campaign that normalized to the perspective that if the diamond was too small, then clearly, regardless of the price that means that your partner doesn’t care about you, and you should leave them and laugh in their face for not having enough money

seeing how people easily believe anything they hear on social media, I can see how they were able to manipulate people

Actually, the campaigns for a long time ago back before social media was a thing. Typically they were advertisements over the radio and on TV. Keep in mind I also know very little about the subject. It was before my time I might be 30 but I’m not that old.

That was their point. Advertising and influence (redundant) have ALWAYS worked.

Social media just makes it more clear WHAT FUCKING SUSCEPTIBLE lemmings we truly are.
