    Supply and demand is a framework, not a model. It doesn't say anything.

    Apparently the entire internet failed to learn Econ101.

    Supply and demand is correct in isolation. But so is advertising, they have spent decades learning human psychology to make people want certain things, hence creating demand for things that they want to sell. And they have also learned to create scarcity to Jack up prices.
