There is a market for those who don't want to think
before buying, who just want to buy, who want to be
told what's the "right way". In a free society, it's
also a freedom to give up the individual choice, as
strange as it sounds. By spending more money, customers
are able to "buy theirselves free" from doubt and
fear. I admit that this attitude shares aspects of
a typical belief or even religion. This concept runs
the thing we currently call the "self-controlling market".

Would benefiting a healthy and free market, which
means real capitalism (not the stage show we're
experiencing today). :-)
