The forces of fascism are experts at marketing.
FOMO is FUD for corporate fascists keen on psychological manipulation.

Malign influence campaigns, disinformation, and propaganda borrow a lot from marketing & public relations experts.
The same tactics that convince MAGA to vote for a dictatorship are also used to make consumers buy crap they don't need & can't afford

@Npars01@mstdn.social FOMO is one of the ways in which I find myself surrounded by head- and smart-phone zombies wherever I go. Quite how smart people I know also get trapped is baffling. Seems few step back enough to observe habits ... But what an evil power-axis in the world, garnering more wealth than they could ever have time to appreciate.
