Stay that way!!! You’re wired to win, don’t let that change, don’t become a consumer sheep.

i keep almost all my cash in my stock trading account or either in a account which is not linked to the internet.

I hate buying stuff on line. I feel very guilty it does not matter the amount. I really hate buying things. I have a leather wallet over 40 years old and use it all the time. Obviously my brain is wired differently. I cannot understand how people get a thrill when they buy things.

@@gr8macaw1 during the pandemic i didn't bought any new clothes cause i didn't need to. We are the so called "reducers".

They are doing that too, but data from companies is more in-depth and accurate

some companies have surveys or feedback forms

@@miaomiao07 I know but surveys are long and they don’t offer any rewards for your opinion Only ones I had free burger from mc Donald.

@Banny Hughes no one can replace service industry dude even a robot can't do that it takes a human control and free will to do it, compare to other jobs that use hands.

what if, given the opportunity, independent businesses were given a collective platform to sell their products but with improved marketing and shipping opportunities to allow them to compete with global giants. Such a platform would boost survival rates of these smaller independent retailers by having an online presence as well as an in person store.

@@curioustudent advanced marketing, same day shipping are table stakes in 2022. websites that are just a storefront for a warehouse (product size/dimensions > product availability (yes) > same day shipping) are no longer enough to immerse shopper’s, so we need to get smarter.

Half of Chinese live on 150usd a month

same products (nike shoes, ipads, etc) cost more in china because of tariffs

@JMB Actually I’ve lived in China (mostly in Wuhan) for 10+ years and have actually gotten married there. Left in 12/2019 so not that long ago just before virus lockdown. True many stuff that is not of international brand is cheaper but those of international brands are usually more expensive then in USA.

@@Obi_boy where u getting the data from? Lol

​@@Obi_boy True. 1. Around 600m Chinese people's disposable income per month is below RMB 1090 ($167). 2. China has the largest GDP output (if China decides to raise RMB against dollar) and it's developing incredibly fast in this pandemic. Sooner or later it will turn into something people cannot imagine which is way bigger than today's U.S.

Yeah, I'm too thrifty, I almost think like that of a billionaire but without actual money lol 😂✌️ That means I try to minimize spending..amap

The less you need, the more free you are, even if you are a minimalist by necessity 😁

Knowing you can't afford anything is also valuable information. Lol

But sadly you’re the bigger loser

@@abbiejoyguabna5320 Billionaires do not minimize spending. They buy several huge houses, ranches, yachts, etc. and employ large staffs. The frugal billionaire is a myth.

@Rafael Dejesus 😁

I think so. There isn't any novel and insightful viewpoint.

Online shoppers are in for a rude awakening when the effects of a warming planet takes hold.

How would you have got the goods otherwise? If not at all, yes, that's an impact, if you'd have driven to pick them up somewhere the courier was probably more efficient.

Even if you shopped instore, that product on the shelf, came in a cardboard box when it arrived at the store from the manufacturer.

Technically online shopping(talking amaxon at least) is sometimes less impactful on the planet than driving to a store. However, only if you don't have quick shipping and just go with normal shipping. Getting priority packages uses airplanes and that's bad for the environment

@@BeaverChainsaw - Online purchase is indirectly more polluting and not environmentally friendly than hopping in a fossil fuel powered vehicle to purchase the product from a store. If you walked or use public transport to go to the store is more environmentally friendly than using a fossil fuel powered vehicle and also healthier to you,

Just a robotic factory making stuff and a digital bank buying the stuff to send it back to be recycled to make more stuff. Forever.

Don't worry bro, your data being accessible by hundreds of organisations won't prove to be any value. You're not exactly a popular entity on company databases. You're probably somewhere along the bottom of CorporateXEnzo's Excel spreadsheet! In fact, the clerk wasn't bothered completing your information of the data

That lie sums up my experience with healthcare

More choice isnt the best... but NO choice? Almost always worse. I feel for all the small businesses literally murdered by our politicians, mainstream media, big tech, and other elites. Forcing to only have one option. Like how they are able to easily ban a book completely by not letting it on amazon or ebay... since all the other book sellers have been castrated

Nice!

keeping them safe is very very tough. if companies want, they can easily access our personal accounts or they can even guess our password using the data they have already collected. if all the companies started sharing the data then there will be no internet user left whose each and every data couldn't be easily accessed and that day is not far.

@@nothingnothing3211 Exactly, the dark side of data privacy & online payment is the part they don't want you to know, that they actually know everything! 🍷

Just bought a pair of shoe from allbirds and it's so comfortable

Health and wellness is the next big thing for the future . Well in the future business arena. I mean it was always there. But it is becoming more prominent.

We come buy on time... Credit for what you can't afford..

Have you considered consulting an investment advisor or using a portfolio manager?

hi, no I haven't do you know any or can you point me in the right direction?

@Bridget Stone Thanks for sharing, but have you made any profit whatsoever?

@Bridget Stone hey thanks for sharing, I just looked her up found her website and left a message, hope she replies soon. I really want to make some profit off this.

I thought it was a really interesting look into how information is so valuable in the global economy

@@BeaverChainsaw tttyyty to t

Actually buying/paying for things online makes me 😑

I hate shopping and especially online 🤷‍♂️

You may be missing the point here. Our data is being used to brainwash us. If I come into your home, look through your cupboards, drawers and shelves, I can learn a lot about what to target-sell you. If I can monitor your online habits, where you pause, where you look further, I can learn even more. Ultimately, if I can propose different things to you online and see your reaction, then I get close to knowing exactly what to target you with and when. You may think, well that’s great, I would love to be offered only those products that I really like/want/prefer/need. But where it gets really interesting/insidious is when they start to lead/shape/coerce us to buy things that we really don’t need, but we think we do. It is highly effective, to the point where most people don’t even realize it’s happening. Make no mistake, all they want is our money, and they’re become ever better at getting it.

@@user-qn6yt3zx3w well you can choose to live inside a cave, or you can be part of modern society still, the internet technology benefits still outweigh the downside just use common sense, don't share your sensitive information on your social media

True

Agree with you

Makes it easier for them to see what people are buying too. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤔

@@sg5720 And their spending habits, to see how to sell them more ;)

depends. in some reverse psychology works. with the pandemic, i started to value time outdoors and the real life, the real things. i've also noticed that the things i try and see that they fit, i actually wear, as opposed to most things i used to buy online. with the pandemic my eyes were finally opened and realized i've been fooled online all along.

I know! That guy looked like a lunatic 😂 I can't tell if that was supposed to be a warning about what'll happen if you spend too much time shopping online or what.

So is the effects of a warming planet.

The more you know about people the more you can help the plant but you could say the opposite as well depending on how is using the data/company/government/military

Future shopping Is a return of the blue laws And barter

Consumer behaviour changes

People like you believe that you have guaranteed privacy lol.

@@user-ln1gv1bc6q more privacy than you. Rather have 50% privacy than 5%

@@Obi_boy Wish you feel happy lol

@Kshitij Raj I feel sympathetic on you lol because of your innocent characteristic

Anyone who use a cellphone doesn’t have privacy

Seriously guys, great reporting but sort out the audio

More service = more jobs I suppose
