They've been studying how to produce the most effective messaging since Edward Bernays and Propaganda. They are seeking efficacy above nearly all else.

You're basically saying "It amazes me how delicious potato chips taste for most people." Well the non-delicious chips didn't make it this long, and neither did the ineffective media. The chips were specifically calibrated to push the buttons in your brain that trigger the sense of deliciousness: it's brain hacking. The entire modern capitalist model is based off of exploitative brain hacking.
