I'm reminded of the Art market where having the right patron gets you featured in the glossy mags and talked about in the right circles ... and, strangely, your Art gets bought and the price spirals ... intangibles are prone to being 'talked-up'...... and 'talked-down'

In the same way as Trumpian pronouncements have allowed the savvy to exploit the seesaw market ... Maybe Geoff wants some proper classics that he can't afford 😆 .... with the interwebby giving a platform to more voices (including those who would never pass muster in a print journal) ... the markets for luxury, lifestyle goods are vulnerable.
