The system was developed in the middle of the 20th century by news and magazine publishers to aid their sales and marketing efforts. It has proven so useful it is now used as the standard approach to market research for just about any product or service.
You might think it’s bollards, but the fact that it is applied commercially by businesses that choose to pay for its use as an aid to selling their products suggests otherwise.

Indeed, it actually works quite well.
In the 1990s I worked for a division of Experian that sold a marketing (targeting) product that (partly) used that information.

IMO I don’t think there is much of a difference between B and C2, and many cases C2 will earn more than B.
I suppose it’s useful for marketing but as with all things the top and bottom are stark, with a whole cocktail of nuance in between.

Re: Coronavirus
They're all 'experts', they all have an opinion, they all read/interpret data differently, they all know what's best for us.
nothing changes
