Today is open on this blog which has structure by days, for promoting things including concepts, and realized business trust is a great concept to consider and promote.
Like during these pandemic times it is even more important as, how do you feel SAFE when go into a place of business? Especially when is much less often if social distancing?
Reality for me is, am even more likely now to rely on business trust indicators: like courteous staff, cleanliness, quality of products and certainty business has resources to lessen my likelihood of...but enough in that direction, is depressing talking pandemic things much.
Business trust is easy to talk but hard to get and builds slowly but can collapse rapidly.
But business trust is key to marketplaces and have emphasized web marketplaces as key to web commerce. Where well regulated marketplaces enable trust for customers AND vendors, where may ponder that one carefully.
My favorite example? Human nudity is ok plenty of places, like safely at home taking a bath. In stores? Um, is not usually allowed unless maybe at a nudist colony?
Who enforces though? In the US if a person is impolite when requested to leave, like if nude, law enforcement is likely to be called (which has bizarrely become a political issue here).
There are rules and regulations which govern YOUR behavior in a place of business in the United States.
But what about on a street corner? Buying from a street hustler? Which in MY time growing up in 20th Century meant a shady character selling shady goods usually of very low quality and possibly stolen.
(Did a web search on modern definitions and include mine plus others though.)
Then? You are on your own, God help you.
But to me web now is too limited as markets regulated by governments on web? Where?
Thankfully there are vendors where have business trust. But is just a few, which favors, yup, massive consolidation into a few ultra powerful companies.
And they routinely and arbitrarily limit--consumer choice.
Like consider big web streamers who yank content with little explanation if any. Or products I'd like to buy just not being offered, and where can I go? Where do I have business trust?
Consumers can request it. Governments should regulate marketplaces and the web is just as free with a government regulated portal to a well regulated web marketplace as without.
Like, you would choose to go there, or not. Like you choose to go to a physical business or not.
Would just have more options. And am confident we will get there, eventually. And then in my opinion, the web will finally be fully realized.
