Remember When Truth In Advertising Was The Law?

You know how when you're watching Tuber videos, they always get interrupted by stupid ads? There's one for a 16Tb USB drive that they claim is for sale for $1,000 on Amazon. I was like "Yeah, right." When you search for stuff on there, the most expensive item pop up first. So I went there and searched for "16Tb USB drive", and what pops up? I don't see any 16Tb USB drives for $1,000. I see this. On the very first page of search results.

SanDisk 16GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive​


$14.21

I have lots of Sandisk drives, and I would trust them long before some company I never heard of... :ROFLMAO:

I see a 16tb USB plug 'n play drive for $450 (it's a drive, not a memory stick), and some higher capacity ones for around $500.

It's crazy. I "upgraded" my first PC to a 10MB drive because I didn't want to run out of storage. Several years later and I think I used less than 3MB of it.

Regarding Truth in Advertising...it's still the law and [supposedly] enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. link Like everything else, I'm sure political campaigns and speeches are exempt.
