"It's a shame that the people who are listening to you the most are only interested in you because they want you and your peers to buy their product."
I believe that it is true that some people are only listening to you because they want you to buy their product, but I don't necessarily think it's a shame. When you're in the business industry and teens are your market, its your job to know what teens like so you can be successful. They need to be able to get into teens heads or else their product wont sell and their companies wont do well. When teens are interviewed, chances are they know the interviewers motivations and wont be offended or upset when they find out the industry isn't really interested in them as a person. Teens want companies to make products that they can use and would like, so I personally don't think it's that big of a deal. We aren't looking to make "friends" with the industries--they gotta do what they gotta do.
