Word of mouth amd people repeating things they've heard so they sound smart, even of they personally don't know what they're talking about.

This is why every high quality company goes to shit. They can cust costs dramatically and keep prices high and it takes years for the names reputation to tank. The CEO gets to claim boosted profits and bail out in theor golden parachute before it crashes
