if you're reading this then you already know...

Anybody else notice the laziness in ads lately? Seems to be getting worse especially in commercial ads. Every ad exclaims "if you're reading this then you already know" everything there is about how amazing product xyz is and all its technical features and have of course seen all the reviews. The ads in question then proceed to provide no links and no further information.

This is still a hobby forum. Please take the extra 2.5 minutes to provide YOUR perspective and maybe some information. If I "already knew" everything as the ads claim - I guess I'd be plugging my iPOD into my BOSE system for perfect sound 'cuz they claim the same thing
;)

You guys are already on a computer wich has the ability to search and learn about almost any product, service or idea in the Universe so take advantage of it, if the seller is lazy so be it and if you are not as lazy do some research for gods sake......problem solved?

I see both sides of this, yes it is lazy and a bit stupid but it also is a selling point to convince you this is an awesome product, a very subtle technique of hype.
I also think in many cases if you are looking to buy a most likely high ticket item you should know what it is, its specs and how it performs because you should have already been doing extensive homework.

So if you dont know what it is then do some damn research, like you are going to just go by what a sellers posts?
Every time we post there is always someone ready to call you out on it...people will argue about anything, pathetic.

You cant win no matter what you post, somebody will always take issue with any comment. There is a wealth of knowledge at anyones finger tips who has a computer and a connection, why more dont take advantage of it is beyond me but you can still be lazy and research....it isnt exactly a workout to click and read.
