I am a market harbinger.
You know, it's hard to read the article at https://news.mit.edu/2015/harbinger-failure-consumers-unpopular-products-1223 whout imagining the writer trying to come up with more ways to insult people who are willing to try things that aren't just same-shit-different-label.
And yes, I am definitely one of these. The moment I start to love an unusual product or a favorite meal on a menu it disappears because of optimizations for market hedgehogs (my new term for folks who ball up and hide from anything novel, apparently the majority).
I am a market harbinger.
@Owlor Is the word "marketqueer" a thing? We might be marketqueer.
