You’re demonstrating my point to a T.
Continuing to prove my point…
Allow me to educate you:
To qualify as FOMO, something (an event or item being sold) has to meet the following criteria:
- It has to be marketed as limited in availability and other consumers will experience it in their stead
- A consumer has to feel compelled to act now or miss it all together (and this is where everyone shuts their brain off)
- The event or item in question causes the consumer to act on impulse or against their best judgement to mitigate 1 and 2.
Impulse in this context is defined as “a sudden wish or urge that prompts an unpremeditated act or feeling; an abrupt inclination.”
I would argue the tower didn’t satisfy the second half of 1. Given that the tower was available for over a year and marketed before that, it doesn’t satisfy the 3rd element at all.
Go back to clown school, shew.
