Everything I can find online seems to be advertisements or paid reviews (Also advertisements) when looking for anything anymore. Businesses are terrified of an open honest conversation about what is good and what is not

I so don't understand how to run a business.

  • Spend $Billions shoving advertising down everyone's throats? Absolutely!

  • Just make a good product and provide good customer support? It will never work!

Option 1 is easy and any idiot can throw money at it to solve the problem. Option 2 requires talented people and real effort.

If you're terrified of honest conversations, your product is probably shit.

Marques Brownlee had a video recently about the question "do bad reviews kill products?" that highlights the issue well

Exactly. Every company is terrified of honest conversation since it makes putting out shit harder.
