Whistleblowers and inside commentators from companies such as Amazon and Apple reveal the manipulative practices their former employers still use to keep consumers locked in a constant cycle of buying. The environmental impact of such reckless purchasing is also explored as horrifying volumes of discarded products make their way into landfills.
