If you overexpose one particularly thing over and over and over and over again of course people will begin to believe "Oh this must be great" if that is the only they they are choosing to market.
So... exactly what we've all been saying this entire time: there is no agenda other than making money in the safest way they feel possible. It's not a conspiracy. Just boring corporate economics.
