My point is that I’m not really convinced about the premise when the thumbnail fits internet outrage more than actual sales. Ferrari does things primarily to sell cars, because it’s a company, a for-profit organisation. According to data they seem to be doing fine in that regard. Why would they care about opinions of people who won’t buy their cars? Why should anyone care if the answer is seemingly an uninspired “stop liking things I don’t like”?
Toyota sells more cars than Ferrari. Do you think that if Ferrari should starts building more cars like Toyota it will be good for them long-term?
Are you familiar with the doorman fallacy?
So is McDonald's.
The argument is not that things stopped being popular. It's that they are becoming uniformly similar in a bland way.
If you actually watch the video, perhaps you can understand why. But it seems you are more interested in sticking to your preconceived notions than listening to someone with opinions of their own.
Ferrari is a boutique car maker. You’re comparing a grocery store box of eggs to a Faberge egg. Volumes are way lower and profit margins are way higher on those Faberge eggs. Focusing on this market segment is a viable business strategy.
No, I’m not watching 100th video on why that new Ferrari is ugly according to internet outrage farms.
The video is not about that. You are literally prejudging a video because of the thumbnail. It's your loss.
It seems to be biased and wrong from the get go so why would I watch something that seems to be designed to feed off internet outrage? There’s so much of that on the internet that it’s hard not to trip over it these days. I’m not interested in a video essay on society, design and technology that’s the same outrage, just repackaged.
Does the video mention that this EV sold above expectations?
