That's the point of marketing, and advertising. Trying to get us to buy things we don't need. And <em>elite level</em> means that I represent my state in my chosen sport.

They play the song first thats got higher votes. <blockquote> That doesn’t change the fact they are manipulating people by being dishonest, simply in order to make money.</blockquote> What says its dishonest?
