Why is the snake oil topic closed?

Let’s hear it for the poor downtrodden engineers. Working in obscurity, unheralded, overworked, and underpaid, working in low light, striving to find the perfect formula to make the big bosses some real money. Not some piddling amount. The audio industry is analogous to the car industry. "Where do we go from here? We got the four valves per cylinder. We got the forward looking radar. We got the airbags all around. We got the lithium battery. What else can we possibly come up with to sell these gosh darn cars??" Equipment upgraditis. Sound familiar?

😩

@ teo_audio, do you even read your own post?? How can someone take your products seriously?  

@testpilot 

Thank you for your lovely post regarding matters of cognition and a reflection thereof.

Nobody appreciates the naive, gullible tenderfoot audiophile more than I do. They’re my favourite. Hi, there. Want some candy?

Sounds just like a comment from a Scientology recruitment officer?

PS: Glad to see this thread is now placed in the Misc Audio section +1 for the mods.

Cheers George

Mapman, nice to see you out and about. Here's hoping for a full recovery. 😷

Let's put it this way:
It's an art to sell moving out leftover portable cd-players and cassette players as hot-roded ones for $169 -- pure profit with nearly $0 invested and so is bag of rocks! That deserves nothing more than respect weather it's snake oil or not. It exists bcoz of ones who buys. As soon as there will be only rational freaks like me where each item has to be worth every penny or more -- it's badaboom over. Nevertheless, I've been always respecting players being player myself. Why steal and/or violently kill when you can sit down and out-play the fool? I have a right to bluf about my hand and you have a right to call raise or fold and that's all to it.

Selling mandatory health insurance, prescribing unnecessary life-time meds is substantially larger snake oil that is to say. It clearly looks like our Health Industry 'trains' medical students to deliver this bs to us so we 'consume' it and go for it! For those behind it I have nothing but an array of loud confrontations including swear. They are criminals period! 

Home audio snake oil is fine and it does not destroy anyone's dignity or life style.
