What I want to know is how much money could insurance companies (cough, Liberty Mutual, cough) POSSIBLY be saving people when they are buying ads on every video on Youtube.

I always wondered what if someone started an insurance business that didn’t spend billions on advertisements, it just offered genuinely lower rates. When you sign up you have to sign something promising you’ll tell 2 other people.

The Market Basket of insurance companies - solid, quality products, at a reasonable price, because they simply don’t do any marketing.

Massachusetts (funny enough also where MB is popular) used to have only small car insurance companies, I think it had something to do with no-fault or something. But they opened up to the Geicos and co. A decade or so ago.
