It reminds me of how many things get launched with big hype but the follow-through is weak. Phone apps get abandoned after updates, or TV shows get canceled on cliffhangers. Anime feels the same, where the production schedule or budget cuts off the story before it can land properly.

Honestly, the long game trust is the real win here. Everyone talks about avoiding damage, but refusing a service makes you the expert who cares more about their hair than their wallet. That client will come back for everything now and tell their friends. Saying no to easy money today builds a business that lasts. It's the best kind of advertising and it lets you sleep at night.
