Marketing is a major cost factor for many products. You can't sustainably sell anything for less than customer acquisition cost. This is familiar to SaaS people but also high margin products like perfume and professional services.

That’s why I try to avoid products that sponsor major sports events/teams/athletes/etc. I want a good product, not surrounding marketing.
Products with no fancy marketing, frequently coming from smaller local companies, bring much better price/quality ratio.

Each time i see an ad showing a product i bought trigger the realisation some of my own money was wasted into wasting my precious attention.
The sponsoring of brainwashing is worse than the value loss.
