Disrespectful, inconsiderate, and at times aggressive and ultimately hurtful marketing to help manufacturers and retailers take as much advantage of consumers as possible.
Decades ago every item sold in a store had a price tag, now the retailers don't waste energy, thus money, sticking a price tag on each item or at least displaying a sign that informs consumers the price. That is just one example of predatory marketing. My definition of 'predatory marketing' is different than a more common one which states that it is any activity instigated—usually, by the larger manufacturer—to tangibly harm or eliminate smaller competitiors.
The general propensity for people to deceive. The 'real world' of conspiracy and exploitation.
'Are you sure about trusting a mysterious company with all of your belongings?'
'Surely no-one would set up a fake courier company on the off chance that they would be asked to transport something worth more than the cost of setting up the scam in the first place!'
'Never underestimate The Craft Market.'
