Advertising may introduce a stranger. But charging a merchant to meet his own customer is highway robbery with a receipt.

lol a customer literally types in “Seth Godin” on the internet and gets to the product. But for some reason Amazon sponsored ads is a toll booth BLOCKING the merchant from meeting the customer unless the merchant pays 1 dollar???

How exactly is Amazon preventing the customer from meeting the merchant? What is the precise mechanism?

sell the dream at the peak, then sell the explanation on the way down

I like it a lot. How can i skip and come back to a location later?
