    I think a good sense of criticism is always good. And I don’t like loyalty, ever. But, no matter where you go, there will be a rule of thumb that people will blindly follow. None of this will make me likable though because of the lack of trust I show them with everything.

      i’m over 40 and am still confounded by this. brand loyalty always struck me as the dumbest possible behavior from people whose only value to the brand is in their wallet. i guess it’s easy to believe the company really truly cares about you when that’s what they pretend to do

        You’re getting downvoted because you’re conflating contrarianism with critical thinking, and people have already pointed out your mistaken logic.

        It has nothing to do with brand loyalty. You’re just falling into the other side of the “herd mentality” coin.

              fanbois have a tendency to get butthurt and talk about “logic” if you poopooh their favorite brand names.

              bring on the downvotes. they have a ways to go to catch up to the upvotes on my comment shitting on republicans

        You guys are sniffing your own farts so hard you forgot that it sounds stupid when you say a company is pretending when they paid for a 3rd party to verify them with cold hard cash.

        There are very few of us, and it’s probably a DNA/brain wiring thing. Kinda like me looking at republican as if they are aliens because they can watch trump and think what he’s saying is good, and totally not like a dictator such as hitler.
