I believe you're talking about consumer addictions, and I agree.

Ah. OK, which products aren't useful, and which are?

Should I just stop working altogether? I'll tell my customers, "hey guys, I appreciate the money, I know you THINK my work is useful, but really, sometimes it isn't."

Is it your contention that somehow government should forceably reduce the number of consumer choices? And if not, WTF is the purpose of this thread?

No, that is not my contention. Honestly the fact that you are still asking this just makes me really sad.

In your subjective opinion, which is no better than anybody else's subjective opinions, including those of the people producing and consuming the products. Why should we care that you don't think they are useful or helpful? Just don't buy them.
