I don't blame the newcomers who get swindled. Some people who should know better choose not to, and scams like this are easily avoided if you connect your budget to your brain. That's all true. But convenience seeking consumers are a marketers dream, and when I look at my Facebook feed, they throw ads at me that are insulting. Non science based medicine, internet health fads, religious and political propaganda... Betta water fits right in.
Shame on the companies and the people who choose to sell these things. But as a society, we love our gangsters, crooks and scammers when they get away with it and don't target us, and we're in on it if we think this kind of marketing is clever rather than unethical. Too many people probably think we should put a shot of melafix into Betta water and raise a toast to them.
