When will consumers realize they are being played?

[PS5 Pro]

Everyone SHOULD add on to this

We all know we getting dikked. We know cable companies have lobbyist who have paid congress members to push the net neutrality issue

We know phone companies do Madden/2K like upgrades for there phones each year

But why do the same ppl who preach that, go right back to hyping up the products they know are not really different from the previous model?

I'm hoping everyone who post can drop an example of how. I'll start off of course...

There is a thread posted today about that Chinese Phone for $300 or $350.
And while I am skeptical on how well the phone will work. I JUST noticed something a moment ago
The type of service it can receive, it says 4G + LTE

Now here is where EVERYONE falls for the okie doke. Even the ones who know better (Me included at times)

4G stands for 4th Generation. And there is no industry standard for how powerful your "G" needs to be
So somebodies 2G could shyt on your 4G (not likely, but possible) While some 3G's are faster than 4G
Try Cricket or Straight Talk if you think I'm bullshyttin

And LTE... that isn't even good enough to be considered a new generation
You know why it even got approved? MONEY, phone companies PAID for it to be allowed to be pimped to us as this new tech. Here is the wiki on it if you don't believe me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_(telecommunication)

Although marketed as a 4G wireless service, LTE (as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series) does not satisfy the technical requirements the 3GPP consortium has adopted for its new standard generation, and which were originally set forth by the ITU-R organization in its IMT-Advanced specification. However, due to marketing pressures and the significant advancements that WiMAX, HSPA+ and LTE bring to the original 3G technologies, ITU later decided that LTE together with the aforementioned technologies can be called 4G technologies.[3] The LTE Advanced standard formally satisfies the ITU-R requirements to be considered IMT-Advanced.[4] And to differentiate LTE Advanced and WiMAX-Advanced from current 4G technologies, ITU has defined them as "True 4G".[5][6]

I didn't even highlight the bullshyt immediately afterwards about the "significant advancements" because those advancements also didn't pass the "technical requirements of the 3GPP consortium" but who gives a shyt

You, the consumer will act like the next new phone is a significant upgrade over the previous model
Besides, DirectX12 ain't even out yet
