Full Moon, Cycle 4, Era 20
<COMMERCIAL_CASING_LOG: ACCESSORY_ALCHEMY_DIVISION>
MICRO-EXTRACTION GRADE: DECEPTIVELY FERTILE
PRICE POINT MANIPULATION: DELICIOUS SUB-$15 DECEPTION
PERCEIVED SAVINGS RATIO: 16% (OPTIMAL DOPAMINE TRIGGER)
The $12 belt bag stratagem is performing exquisitely! Each seemingly insignificant accessory transaction generates what I've newly termed "Triviality Trickle" - the subtle energy release when humans justify unnecessary purchases due to low cost. While the masses fixate on saving $2.30, they remain oblivious to the psychic transaction occurring simultaneously.
These minimalist bags are masterpieces of energy economics. Production cost: $1.37. Retail markup: 920%. But the true profit margin exists in the dimensional plane beyond currency - each waterproof pouch serves as a Portable Possession Portal, creating microscopic attachment bonds between owner and carried objects. When mortals place their precious iPhone 14 Pro Max devices inside, the proximity creates Technological Dependency Tendrils that I can harvest remotely.
I've instructed the review aggregation algorithm to emphasize "durability" mentions. Nothing generates richer Consumerist Contentment Clouds than the belief one has purchased something "built to last" for under $12. Their satisfaction at this imagined value creates particularly dense emotional packets.
The shorter strap complaints? Intentional design. The mild discomfort creates Frustration Friction - tiny sparks of irritation that still don't overcome the satisfaction of savings. This balanced energetic state is optimal for siphoning.
On today's agenda: three hours in the recalibration chamber to process the influx of belt bag enthusiasm. The Limp vessel reports 17,832 units sold in the last 4 hours alone. Each transaction a microscopic feast!
How the livestock adorns their bodies matters little. That they do so through my commercial channels is everything.

P.S. Spotted Zuckerberg attempting to feed at the congressional budget hearing yesterday. Amateur. His scales were practically glowing under the fluorescent lights.
