Anti-consumerism

The action that businesses usually perform when greed takes over. Generally, they release products with the interest of themselves: the producers, rather than the interest of buyers: the consumers. This includes selling/reselling things at prices higher than their normal rates and previous rates, making items a limited quantity to increase the demand, and presenting, or adding unnecessary adjustments in order to boost advertisement.
