Name an industry plagued by snake-oil salesman as badly as the firearms industry

>but muh $5k speaker cables make a huge difference I swear

Is that a fucking tube speaker?

I believe that is an amp, genius

Anything with the word oil in it, and cleaning products.

Amp, yes.
Quite popular still in the audio community. Warmer, crisper sound. I think it's a bit of a meme but whatever. Same goes with vinyl

yeah

HiFi Audio.Muh $1000 dollar speaker or HDMI cables

Jesus fuck. I get it, the problem of cross-talk, nono, I get that it toooootally induces a current in the other wire, but good god almighty. No increase in audio quality is worth this.

Hi-Fi audio
>t. Audeze owner (i still like them tho)

From personal experience; skateboarding and surfing are just as packed with expensive bullshit products and accessories.
And i was a fool who bought into all of it, my main skateboard has carbon fiber inlays, special aftermarket bushings, and bearings that cost more than the rest of the board combined and my surfboard is a performance shortboard that would be great for a pro but is squirrely as shit and is so small; when I'm sitting in the line up im submerged up to chest.
"Snake oil" and overhyped shit is in every hobby.

i bet jews did this

>weight loss
>fitness
>penis enhancement

Every industry has this bullshit, though IMHO nutritional supplements (medical, not culinary), cosmetics, and fashion are the worst. Oh, and "gaming".

The processed food industry is easily up there too.

Weight loss lol. Youd be surpised how much obese hoes pay for "magnetic weight loss" devices. Especially when its """free""" and the shipping cost is suddenly 3x more than normal.

Collage.

Video games.

"gun oil"

Automotive performance.
Running shoes.
Cookware.
Lawncare.

The list goes on. Basically any industry that predominantly sells stuff to boomers or women

>didn't sprinkle crystals around the room
big oof

Yah those motherfuckers are always selling new glues, new types of posterboard, new magazines to cut up. Collage is absolutely saturated with snake oil to a point where im considering decoupage as a hobby instead.

or spergs.

good taste

diorama is the hot new thing, buddy

Spergs too, you're right. How in the world could I forget finance advice, the entrepreneur industry, the seduction community, and desktop computing?
Come to think of it, spergs are the worst because they'll obstinately defend their gimmick of choice whereas boomers/women see gimmicks and just go, "neat" before buying it

I particularly like the long uninsulated leads at the ends. It probably has measurably more noise than a $2 cable that's insulated all the way to the connector. Audiophiles have to be among the dumbest people on earth.

Have you never heard of gaming LEDs? PCs are way worse for tricking dumb fucking 12 year olds into buying pointless shit. At least gun oil actually DOES something.

Red LEDs are scientifically proven to make your computer run faster you fag. Post your mechanical keyboard.

>Quick Draw is a precise ratio of viscosity optimized silicone and lanolin. Just one spray creates a thin lubricating barrier between the holster and firearm to reduce friction on the draw and holstering, and protect the finish from abrasion, corrosion and rust, while increasing the tactile feel of the weapon in the holster. Competition shooters have applied silicone to their set ups for years to aid in Seed & Feed. Now there is a firearm industry specific solution using the highest quality silicone combined with lanolin to keep the product on the holster.

Mattresses and 'mattress technology'

Haha yeah who would buy that haha I bet it taste gross like her feet haha

sure kid

Fitness/Health supplements

Automobile industry. And automobile repairs especially

I see you have never had a car worth modifying. Mustang guys LOVE to buy shit that’s automotive placebo

Any repair industry, but HVAC specifically, and AC systems particularly.
Running out of freon. Don't make me fucking laugh. They prey really hard on people who are desperately miserable and tell them shit that is flat-out a lie in order to sell them something they absolutely don't fucking need.

HDMI should get a pass because they're universal, handle video and audio in a single cord, and are generally cheaper than specific cords.

>Running out of freon
only happens if the system has a hole somewhere. and usually techs will make a god damn hole just to tell the customer "alright you have a hole." Illegal as shit

Homeopathy

people who waste that much money on memes should be sprayed by skunks daily

Can confirm.

I unironically craved that Razer mousepad when I was a kid.
Got a 10 dollar one instead and still use it.

I just lube my gun with the same stuff i lube my penis with and it shaves at least 2.3 seconds on my draw time don't fall for OPs pic, just get basic lube., make sure not to get it on the grip

Mouse bungees are actually pretty good, assuming they cost about $5.

No clue, I'm bi but I never use mine. I just bought it for memes since I'm fucking terrified of putting anything in my that isn't food or water.

Education. K-12 is dominated by one trendy fad after another that the whole field follows without question. And college gets to be more and more of a ripoff every year. It’s not just that it’s expensive and survives by coercing young people into signing loans that would make a used car dealer in a bad neighborhood blush. It’s that the product keeps getting worse. Online classes are a good example. Yes, there are a few narrow applications where, with a self-motivated student base, they can be effective. But for the most part, they’re a bait-and-switch ripoff of the worst sort. For the exorbitant money you pay in tuition, you deserve a real professor in a real classroom, not a glorified correspondence course taught by a harried, underpaid adjunct with part-time jobs at three different colleges to keep their bills paid, or worse, by a unpaid TA who’s a couple years ahead of you in school, has never sat in front of a class of their own, and knows nothing about teaching, either online or in person. It’s absolutely a disgusting mess.

t: Actual college professor. No, we’re not all a bunch of shitlibs.

2nd for fitness.
There is literally no hobby on earth with as much snake oil and disinfo floating abut as lifting.

K12 education fads, I second that, it’s so funny how things are on a 20 year cycle. Right now people are talking about Zull and “teach like a pirate” again.

>No, we’re not all a bunch of shitlibs.
No fucking shit. The "applied sciences" college I graduated from was starting to get the online-course rot. I'm trying to get hired back in as an IT professional since I could help advise the program I graduated from.

Did people actually buy that monstrosity of a mouse?

how many people bought Belle Delphine's bath water?

You better use that time machine to go back and tell Hitler how to win, pussy.

I don't know who that is, but I'm going to assume a depressing amount

>uncolored
I can get behind that idea.

she's that cute chick that cosplays as vidya characters and makes $155k a month on patreon doing it from thirsty teens and beta orbiters.
she trolled her audience by making a pornhub account and uploading a video about pewdiepie going all the way inside her, and it was just her eating a picture of the guy while she winks to the camera.

At least now i know who to molotov with my gang during the insurgency.

Say what you want about her, but she knows exactly what she is doing. She knows how to make shit loads of money buy doing nothing.

>t. no wrenches

Thanks, I fucking hate it when my music just turns green in the middle of a song

That ultra-wide monitor I can get behind, extra screen space is incredibly useful for working dev stuff

Audiophiles that go in for all the tomfoolery usually know less about acoustics than the average person. I remember seeing a photo of a setup with those ridiculous nautilus shaped speakers ($60k apparently) in a room with a wood floor, one glass wall and furniture all over the place.

I have this mouse and it's fucking shit. Low polling rate, low sensitivity, and super sensitive click. At least it was free.

This, the first two years I was lifting were pretty much wasted filtering bullshit
