If markets are made, they can be made in more deliberate and constrained ways; if they can be made increasingly constrained and purposeful, they will in effect be replaced.
Your last bit is a great restructuring of an American family tradition (at least in my household). We often sat and waited for the results to come in, like bets, and then had engaged discussions on what that could teach us - or more commonly, what we could expect of the future. This is interesting to think about in how markets capitalize on political consciousness, like how McDonalds ads in America present intersectionality, and McDonalds ads in Japan present animated Japanese people. But when this was brought to light there was a lot of discussion on why that was, what outcome we would rather prefer, etc.. Yet, obviously, the ads work and continue to work, otherwise they wouldn't be there. So now, it's like, the people who view it as a "huge deal" already give us the data necessary to put them into a type of personality design practice. Where we then begin to typify them in terms of "well these people upset, and upset in these ways, aren't taught well enough, so how does the market change and would it even?"
This article has a lot of interesting flavor to it.

Thanks--there's a bit of context there I wouldn't have thought of.
