LTT Store Pricing Question

[JustAnotherHunter]

Hello,

 

First time posting on the forums. In the most recent WAN Show, there was a segment about the new pajama pants that reminded me about comments that Linus had made in a several videos. I can't remember which ones specifically (there's a lot of LTT content), but the statements essentially related to how when writing scripts about a products price, if the MSRP is $49.99 USD (for example), then the script would describe it as $50 USD, rounding up the cent. If someone knows what videos I'm referring to, please let me know. I wonder if there has been consideration to applying this principle video segments about LTT Store's own products, as in the WAN Show segment I mentioned earlier, Linus quoted the price of the new pajamas as $39.99.

 

Not trying to allege anything, just curious as to if the notion of price representation (where $999 feels a lot less than $1000, even though there's only a $1 difference) has been brought up when advertising LTT Store products.

I was just watching the WAN show, got to that segment, saw that, and came here to say the exact same thing.

I get it, it is a VERY effective marketing tool, but if you are calling it out in videos as something that is anti-consumer and then engage in that practice yourself then you should really re-evaluate your policies.

the sad part is younger generations in charge of business doing the same corporate bs "we're" complaining about. even though there can be bigger issues, it's still manipulative and an really easy not to engage with those tactics.

owell business is going to business, corporations are not our friends, and LMG is a corporation.
