I disagree actually. Saying things like “everyone else managed to figure it out” is a way of creating FOMO. It might not be the way you want to do it, marketing doesn’t have to be nice (or even right) to work.

I don't want to work with people who think that's good marketing, or people who are convinced by it.
FOMO is for fashions and fads, not getting things done.
I’m responding to a comment that talks about whether that quote is good marketing so I’m just talking specifically about whether it might work from a marketing point of view.
I probably wouldn’t do it myself either, but that’s not really relevant to whether it works or not.
"Good marketing" doesn't have to mean "Marketing that is maximally effective"
Filling food with opioids would be great for business, but hopefully you understand how that is not "good business"
True, but you are arguing about the merit of the actual product, which neither I nor the comment I responded to were talking about at all. Marketing tactics can be applied to good and bad products, and FOMO is a pretty common one everywhere, from "limited remaining" to "early adopters lock in at $10/mo for life" to "everyone else is doing it".
No, I am not arguing about the merits of the product, I am explicitly saying that using FOMO as a marketing tactic is shitty and bad and should make a person who does that feel bad.
I do not care that it is common. I want it to be not common.
I do not care that bad marketing tactics like this can be used to sell "good" products, whatever that means.
