!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Didn’t read the article but amen lol $40,000 boat in where winds meet?!?!? Wtf
Obviously you don’t need it but why does it even exist lol
That would be called a price anchor and it's sole purpose is to exploit the decoy effect.
In short: by offering this obviously overpriced bullshit boat, they create the illusion of value in boats in general. Then the $20 boat seems like a reasonable "investment". Common dark pattern.
And also, “lol, what if someone bought it.” - some executive
