Its just not the "cool" thing anymore. Influencers exist because the marketing method works.
Few years ago Kifaru was in. (and sprinkle in a little Mystery Ranch)
Few years later it was Stone Glacier
After that was EXO
Now this year it seems like Initial Ascent is the "in" thing.
I'm sure in a couple years when EXO comes out with a K5 it will be all the rage.
It will go on and on and on.
I'm sure there are tons of people on here who have bought all these packs. (And in that order.) You don't have to wonder why:
Its all who has the best marketing/perception on social media, forums, podcasts, YouTube and of course rokslide.
They will buy a new pack and say "boy this XYZ is way better than my ABC I've been using for years".
Never mind that they are comparing something that is brand new to something that has probably hundreds of miles on it.
That'd be like trading in a chevy that has 200k on it, go and buy a brand new ford and say "boy, this ford drives way better than my chevy" Well it better, Its brand freaking new. But in their mind, it justified the purchase they made.
You are always being marketed to.
