Why on earth did you infer that it was ok that people used monster products even though there was a viable alternative at the fraction of the cost, implying that if monster could get away with it, it’s no problem to you.

There are guitarists who pay 5000,10000,20000 dollars for a guitar when usable guitars can be purchased now for as low as $99. Matter of choice. Sounds to me like monster has produced a superior product which is more expensive to produce than the typical cable, but savvy businesses are coming up with lower cost alternatives. You appear to be new to free market concepts. I suggest 'Economics in One Lesson' by Hazlitt to get you started.

The product in question is monster.

“Sounds like to me monster has produced a superior product....”

Well, you’re wrong in your assumption. Monster is a rip-off.

“You appear to be new to free market concepts”

YOU APPEAR TO BE A POMPOUS ASS!!!
